4 Different Types of Dermal Fillers

 

Various types of dermal fillers are used by a leading skincare clinic in California. The most popular amongst them are as follows - 

 

1. Hyaluronic acid 

 

Brand names include: Elevess, Captique, Hylaform, Esthélis, Perlane, Juvederm, Prevelle, Restylane, Puragen, etc. 

Hyaluronic acid injections may be applied to develop the outline of the skin and minimize depressions in the skin because of injury, scars, or lines. You may observe potentially substantial developments for: 

 

• Cheek depressions  

• Acne scars 

• Deep smile lines from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth 

• Scars like burns, acne due to wounds  

• Crow's feet towards the border of your eyes 

• Few facial scars  

• Marionette lines towars the mouth  

• Sullen lines between the eyebrows  

• Redefining lip border 

• Worry lines that run across your forehead 

• Smoker's lines; vertical lines on the mouth 

 

This happens to be a leading dermal fillers treatment in California. Hyaluronic acid being a natural substance found in your body, high concentrations are within soft connective tissues and in the fluid around your eyes. It's found in a few cartilages and joint fluids, apart from skin tissue. It is extricated and reformulated to be a top injectable filler. The familiarity of the term may be due to the same substance regularly injected into the aching joints of people with arthritis to heal pain and offer additional cushioning. 

 

2. Calcium hydroxylapatite 

The brand name includes: Radiesse 

Calcium hydroxylapatite is organically available in human bones and is a mineral-like compound. It's frequently applied to: 

• Moderate-to-extreme creases like nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and frown lines 

• Develops fullness of the cheeks and various facial curves 

• Develop volume in areas of facial wasting like in the case of HIV-positive people availing of specific medications 

Calcium hydroxylapatite is obtained biosynthetically. It means that no animals or animal products are utilized. This reduces your proneness to an allergic reaction and no skin testing is needed. This kind of dermal filler can generate a very organic result, doesn't migrate and side effects are few. This dermal filler was initially applied for dentistry and reconstructive surgery and has an impressive safety record. 

 

3. Polyalkylimide 

The brand name includes: Aquamid 

Polyalkylimide is a semi-permanent dermal filler and is regularly employed by plastic surgeons for: 

• Healing deeper wrinkles like nasolabial folds or depressed scars 

• Plumping thin lips 

• Enhancing cheekbones and the jawline, and replacing facial volume lost because of age 

• Healing facial wasting from HIV medications 

As a popular skincare treatment in California, Polyalkylimide has very less reaction with human tissue. So, it's biocompatible, and no allergy test is needed. It is radio transparent, so it won't meddle with x-rays. 

Once injected, a thin layer of collagen slowly develops around it for almost a month. Gradually, the gel is surrounded. A single procedure may inject a huge volume. This stable product can even be replaced if needed. 

 

4. Polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (PMMA) 

The brand name includes: Bellafill 

PMMA is thought to be a semi-permanent filler and is regularly employed to heal medium-to-deep wrinkles, folds, and furrows, especially nasolabial folds. It may be applied to fill out pitted scars too and to augment thin lips. 

As a more permanent solution to facial wrinkles is needed, PMMA is frequently used rather than collagen replacement therapy or hyaluronic therapy. PMMA has been applied for several years in permanent surgical implants. Due to this, the surgeon will probably under-fill on the initial treatment, adding more later if required. 

 

Inference 

 

Dermal fillers vary in chemical makeup, longevity and have different degrees of softness. Softer fillers are applied to the lips. Stronger fillers might be required to develop cheekbones. Let your surgeon decide the ideal type and volume of filler required for your specific areas of concern.
