What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are the gelling preparations which are injected subcutaneously below the dermis to replace the volume loss, soften the wrinkles and improve the shape of the face. These fillers are essentially composed of these biocompatible materials:-
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) - As HA-based filler is inherently embedded in dermis providing, at the same time with hydration and volumization.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite - A bone tissue mineralized-like substance with deep wrinkle and crevice-deep affinity.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid - A synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production over time.
- Poly Methyl Meth Acrylate (PMMA) - A long-term semi-permanent solution using microspheres subcutaneously.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are extremely versatile and therefore are among the most popular cosmetic procedures:-
Restoration of Volume - As the natural fat pads in our face shrink with the aging process, we can end up with a sunken or hollowed appearance. Dermal fillers replenish volume, restoring a youthful look.
Reduction of Wrinkles & Fine Lines - Fillers reduce static lines such as Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and crow's feet, to achieve a youthful appearance.
Enhancement of Facial Features - From definition of cheekbones, lip and jaw lines giving at the aesthetic aim to soft tissue augmentation of facial planes, filler applications may contribute to sculpting and reshaping the facial contours and restoring a natural facial symmetry (e. g.)
Immediate & Long-Lasting Results - But, when the measurements are instantaneous, over a few minutes, the outcome of dermal fillers can be 6 months to 2 years, according to the type of fillers that have been injected.
Non-Surgical & Minimal Downtime - Dermal filler injections are easy, painlessly rapid and hardly any subsequent aftercare is needed.
Boost in Confidence - The real, youthful phenotype of filler comes with an enhancement in self-image and self-confidence.
