Dermal Fillers

In general, dermal fillers are injectable-based non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments. Fillers target ageing skin cells and collagen at the epidermis stage and correct them. Concerning various ageing signs, different types of dermal fillers are used. Some of them are as follows: 

• Hyaluronic Fillers

It is highly safe filler content that lasts for 6 to 12 months. Hyaluronic filler corrects:

1. Under eye area

2. Hollowed cheeks

3. Border of lips

4. A slack smile

5. Lines of marionettes

6. Deep smile lines, or furrows in the nasolabial skin

7. Smoker's lines, fine lines around the mouth's corners

8. Saggy skin

9. The palms of the hands

• Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers

These fillers are thicker than natural hyaluronic fillers and target the damaged collagen in the skin. Calcium Hydroxylapatite fillers are effective to address skin concerns such as:

1. Sulcus that is located before the jowl

2. Nasolabial folds 

3. Frown lines and marionette lines

4. Chin lines that are fine

5. Decrease in cheek volume

• Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers

It is a synthetic material that can break down naturally in the body. It can aid in the natural collagen's regrowth when used as dermal fillers. The results this filler produces are not as quick as those of other fillers. This kind of filler gives results gradually over several months, but it only lasts for roughly two years. For the lower half of the face, poly-L-lactic acid filler works well. Fine wrinkles near the mouth, lines around the eyes, and lip augmentation are not suitable for it.

• Polyalkylimide Fillers

It is a man-made polymer that is utilised as a semi-permanent filler. The process takes roughly a month and involves a thin coating of collagen gradually developing around the injection site. A single injection of this can contribute to achieving notable results. It maintains its stability over time and may even be taken off (if required). It is regularly used to:

1. Take care of the nasolabial creases and depressed scars.

2. Medications for HIV should be treated to prevent face wasting.

3. Increase lip volume.

4. Enhance the cheekbones and jawline.

5. Restore the facial volume that age has taken away.

• Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA)

It is another artificial filler that is semi-permanent and contains PMMA microspheres or small beads. For skin that is consistently firm and supple, this is frequently combined with bovine collagen. It is stronger and can last up to five years compared to other biodegradable fillers. It is effective to treat:

1. Nasolabial folds, treat medium-to-deep wrinkles, folds, and furrows. 

2. Fill in atrophic scars from acne.

 

Procedure of Dermal Fillers

• Before injecting the fillers, the skin is cleaned with an antiseptic solution.

• Dermal filler is administered under the skin using a sterile fine needle or a cannula with a blunt-ended tip. Cannulas are preferred in certain facial areas to reduce the risk of puncturing blood vessels.

• Injectable fillers are measured in vials for precise delivery to the skin.

• To aid in avoiding bruises and enhancing accuracy during filler injections, practitioners may use a device called AccuVein, which helps detect the location of veins.

• The overall duration of the procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the treated area.
