Dermal fillers are used for:
- Filling depressions that might be under the eye area
- Smoothing out the vertical lines around the lips and making thin lips plump.
- Smoothing of the deep creases that run from the nose to mouth and adding some volume to them
- Enhancing the shape of cheeks by augmenting them, leading to the restoration of a youthful look
- Making chicken pox or acne scars even with the skin
Types of dermal fillersBroadly, there are two types of dermal fillers. Natural dermal fillers last for a shorter time and have immediate effects. Synthetic dermal fillers are known to last longer. They are considered to be permanent. The specific types of dermal fillers include; Botox reduces facial lines and creases for several months after application. It functions by blocking the nerve signals that cause the contraction of facial muscles. These fillers can prevent and delay aging.
Xeomin works in the same way as Botox. It is an effective and safe way to counter forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet. It works by distressing frown lines and relaxing facial muscles.
Juvederm is a biodegradable synthetic filler. It contains hyaluronic acid which activates and promotes skin hydration. It also encourages a healthy skin by using its active ingredients.
Radiesse contains minerals that are naturally present in the body. It generally plumps and smoothens the skin. It can last for up to one year. Any swelling and redness produced by it will automatically reduce a few hours after application.
Fat grafting for facial rejuvenation involves taking fats from one part of the body to another. The tissue is removed by liposuction and injected into the area where enhancement is required. It reduces the risk associated with inflammation since the body is less likely to reject its own fats. Natural dermal fillers can be derived either from animals or human bodies. Synthetic fillers work by blocking nerve signals after injection into the muscles.
Where to find dermal fillersYou have every reason to consider the potential of dermal fillers to reverse the signs of aging. They work beyond what skin products can achieve. Muscle movement, gravity, fat loss, age, and sun damage are known to take a toll on the skin. It is without question, therefore, that dermal fillers can give the skin a more youthful appearance and improve how deep lines appear.
If you want to use dermal fillers, the first step is to consult a competent dermatologist. In that way, you will figure out the right filler for you. In the meantime, remember to use sun protection and safe skin products to keep your skin healthy.
