Facial fillers are substances that are injected into the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are one of the most popular, as they have a soft texture to create beautiful results. HA is found naturally in the body, so it dissolves naturally and gradually over time, usually between 6 and 12 months, depending on the person and the product used. Allergan's Juvéderm line is one of the best-known HA fillers.
There are many facial fillers available depending on your needs and how long you want the effects to last. Restylane-L, Juvederm and Belotero are dermal fillers that are commonly used for facial wrinkles, asymmetry and volume loss. Injections into the lips wear out a little faster than those in the nasolabial folds. Some HA fillers, such as VOLUMA, are formulated to last longer, but are usually limited to certain areas, such as the cheeks.
The doctors we talked to universally use muscular structural fillers (Radiesse, Juvéderm Ultra, Restylane Lyft) on the hands and jawline. For the clear area under the eyes, injecting a thin layer of more fluid HA that doesn't swell or give off a bluish glow (something known as the Tyndall effect) can lift the skin away from underlying vessels, hiding discoloration and gaps, Kassardjian says. The injection of a facial filler is usually an outpatient procedure that is done with anesthetic medications. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the side effects of facial fillers tend to go away in seven to 14 days.
We have also manufactured dermal fillers to address various facial problems, such as smoothing wrinkles and adding volume to sunken or depressed areas. 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. When considering facial fillers, it's important to consult with a qualified professional who can assess your individual needs and recommend a product that will provide you with optimal results. With so many options available, it can be difficult to determine which type of filler is best for you. However, with careful research and consultation with an experienced professional, you can find a filler that will help you achieve your desired look.
