As we age, our bodies stop producing collagen and elastin, two substances that contribute to a youthful appearance. To combat this, many people turn to facial fillers, a popular facial rejuvenation treatment that can be a cost-effective way to look younger without surgery or downtime. But what exactly are facial fillers and how do they work?In short, facial fillers are substances that are injected into the skin to smooth wrinkles and make them less visible. The injection of a facial filler is usually an outpatient procedure that is done with anesthetic medications.
The procedure lasts up to an hour and the soft gel particles stay in place, allowing results to last six to nine months. The substances used are not exactly the same as Botox. Some of the most common are hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm, Restylane or Perlane. Restylane and Perlane last between six months and one year, but Juvederm Voluma has been clinically proven to last up to two years. It has also been shown to help patients look five years younger. Fillers basically restore lost volume on the face and stuffed areas, so that deep lines are smoothed.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and smooth wrinkles or improve facial contours. They are injected under the skin to fill it. In addition to filling wrinkles, they can also be used to improve sagging cheeks, hands or thin lips. Hyaluronic acid fillers help maintain shape, equalize skin depressions and provide hydration. For deeper wrinkles, more filler will need to be injected and for superficial lines, less filler will be needed.
Because many forms of Juvederm contain lidocaine, many patients prefer this skin filler because local anesthesia makes the process more comfortable. Advances in the cosmetics industry have resulted in age-fighting treatment options such as Botox and facial fillers. The same applies to lip fillers; more filling will give a larger mouth and less subtle filling will give a more natural filling. The good news is that these clients have received excellent results from fillers on very deep and extensive facial scars. Dermal fillers decrease signs of aging in multiple facial areas by adding volume to regions that are flabby, as well as filling wrinkles and lines. Skin becomes firmer, smoother and younger looking.
Dermal fillers are ideal for filling wrinkles and lines, filling lips and cheeks, and improving facial contours. In conclusion, facial fillers can be a great way to reduce signs of aging without surgery or downtime. They work by injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin to create a smoother, more supple complexion. Different types of fillers can be used depending on the desired result; hyaluronic acid fillers tend to be the most temporary option while CaHa fillers usually last longer. With proper care and maintenance, results can last up to two years.
