​WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLER INJECTIONS?

There are so many inventions which have revolutionized the field of cosmetic surgery, one of them being the aesthetic revolution of dermal filler injections which are also known as cosmetic fillers and are used for the management of aging skin.
​
A facial filler includes a series of tiny injections which are applied at different depths within the skin’s surface. Dermal Fillers are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved injectable implants which are medically advised for creating a smoother and fuller appearance for the face. These fillers are made from absorbable material for the adjustment of moderate to severe skin folds and facial wrinkles. This procedure is safe for individuals over the age of 21 years, however the use of it is not limited to eliminate signs of aging but it can also be used to enhance facial structure.

Temporary and Permanent Fillers

There are two primary groups of dermal fillers, synthetic and natural dermal fillers. The effects are known to last from 6 months to 2 years for semi-permanent fillers while the results of permanent fillers are visible for up to five years.

For obtaining volume, denser fillers are required, such as Voluma or Restylane which are known as the best lip filler types.

Whereas for only superficial defects or small enhancement, lighter molecules are applied. However, for prolonged effects, permanent fillers can also be used.

​How Dermal ​​Fillers Work?

​The synthetic material is injected into the skin with the intention of plumping that area to the point where the wrinkle or fold disappears. It is a complete medical procedure and should not be regarded as a simple cosmetic treatment hence you should always seek medical attention in case any pain or unusual behavior is experienced.

​Advantages of Filler

​The most preferred form of dermal fillers are the ones which have a temporary effect and will gradually be absorbed by the skin over time. Hence the materials which are mostly used for making dermal fillers include collagen which is a type of protein applied in soft tissue areas. Next is the Hyaluronic acid, which is a type of sugar found in body tissues of skin and cartilage. Another category of temporary dermal fillers is Calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a type of mineral that is commonly found in human bones and teeth.
