Dermal fillers, while not as well-known as Botox, have been a popular anti-aging procedure in recent years. Dermal fillers have a different effect than simply filling in wrinkles and fine lines. Filling up hollow regions of the skin using injectable fillers is a popular cosmetic procedure. As Kylie Jenner taught us, they may also be used to plump up thin lips. As an added bonus, dermal fillers can be used to smooth out creases that Botox can’t reach. For cosmetic purposes, they can be used to sculpt the face.
Injectable dermal fillers come in a wide variety of formulations. Injectable fillers are becoming increasingly common, with names like Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Voluma being just a few examples. These days, hyaluronic acid fillers are where it’s at. Possible explanation: they aid in the production of fresh collagen. Additionally, the benefits of using HA fillers typically last anywhere from six months to a full year, and clients love how natural they look.
Dermal fillers also come in a synthetic variety. Contrary to hyaluronic acid, they are synthetic and therefore not found in the human body. As an instance of a synthetic filler, Radiesse stands out. Some claim that synthetic fillers may last longer than HA fillers, but may not seem as natural.
Skin wrinkle fillers containing collagen are another option. These animal-based, purified collagen fillers don’t last nearly as long as their hyaluronic acid or synthetic counterparts.
When using dermal fillers, expect the procedure to take around 15 minutes. Non-adverse side effects include localized bruising, redness, swelling, or discomfort at the injection site, but there is no downtime. Rapid improvement can be seen, resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance.
