Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances made of hyaluronic acid that is injected beneath your skin. Its goal is to immediately help correct scars, diminish facial lines, and restore volume and fullness in your face. More than 1 million men and women have discovered this popular and cost-effective way to look younger without any surgery or recovery time – and it’s time that you do too.

Dermal fillers have countless uses to make sure that you look and feel your best. Specifically, dermal fillers can:

• Plump thin lips
• Enhance shallow contours
• Reduce facial creases and wrinkles
• Enhance the appearance of recessed scars
• Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
• Decrease or eliminate the shadow of the lower lids

With dermal fillers, the results are subtle and natural and the effects are long-lasting. This treatment won’t radically alter your look. Instead, it will smoothen out you’re your face and skin. The results are natural-looking and subtle.

As for its long-lasting effects, when the dermal filler is injected into specific areas of your face, you will immediately see the difference. This amazing look you’ll notice will last for months and even years. Nonetheless, some clinics recommend that you get touch-ups every four to six months following the first treatment to experience optimal cosmetic results.

There are various types of dermal fillers. The most common are polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (PMMA), polylactic acid, polyalkylimide, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxyapatite.

• PMMA – Normally used to treat folds and furrows, as well as, medium to deep wrinkles. Some patients also avail of this treatment to enhance thin lips and fill out uneven scars. Likewise, cosmetic experts turn to this type of dermal filler if the patient requests a more permanent answer to facial wrinkles.
• Polylactic Acid – This is a synthetic dermal filler that helps your body produce more collagen. Hence, it’s somehow a stimulator for the production of collagen. If you’re worried whether polylactic acid is safe because of its synthetic components, it is completely safe, non-toxic, and even biodegradable.
• Polyalkylimide – Often used to treat facial wasting from HIV medications and deeper wrinkles like depressed scars and nasolabial folds. The best thing about this dental filler is that it is biocompatible. You won’t be required to get an allergy test since it has a minute reaction with human tissue.
• Hyaluronic Acid – Used to reduce depressions in the skin caused by fine lines, injuries, and scars. When you get injected with this dermal filler, you’ll see improvements in the scars, frown lines, deep smile lines, cheek, and acne scars.
• Calcium Hydroxylapatite – This is biosynthetically produced, making it ideal for enhancing the fullness of facial contours and treat moderate to severe creases. Just like polyalkylimide, no skin testing and allergy test is required.
