What can dermal fillers correct?

Different types of dermal fillers are designed to treat varying signs of aging.

Depending on the filler selected, they may:

  1. lift sagging skin
  2. plump up thinning lips
  3. enhance or fill in shallow areas on the face
  4. decrease or remove the shadow or wrinkle under the eyes caused by the lower eyelid
  5. fill in or soften the look of recessed scars
  6. fill in or soften static wrinkles, especially on the lower face.

What are dermal fillers

About dermal fillers

Fillers is not a new thing to the cosmetic care world when they were first invented in the late 1800s by Austrian surgeon Robert Gersuny, who carried out trials with mineral oil (Vaseline) and paraffin as soft tissue filler for facial flaws.

Since then, there has been a significant advancement in the preparation, technique as well as the use of fillers for correcting certain facial defects.

Dermal fillers also known as soft Tissue Fillers or Injectables are products such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and calcium hydroxyl apatite that replenish the dull-damaged, aged facial skin by reducing or removing wrinkles, plumping lips, raising scar depressions, and replacing soft-tissue volume loss through Facial Dermal Fillers.

Excessive exposure to the sun, pollution, and years of continual muscle movement (smiling, squinting, grinding, flexing) bestow upon tissue breakdown of the skin.

The treatment with dermal fillers is quick & easy and can be used for various cosmetic facial corrections such as lifting cheeks, cheek volumizing, lip plumping, jaw lines, chins, and temples; and plumping sagging hands.

Before plummeting into Dermal Fillers, make sure to know the right kind of filler for your particular needs and skin because not every soft tissue -filler is right for every type of sagging or creasing.

The best results and minimal risks are attainable using the right one appropriately. This is why

If you fear ending up with duck lips like Anushka Sharma’s or that over-filled “Scarlett Johansson’s” look, a licensed dermatologist or plastic surgeon with ongoing special training must be your preference for any type of fillers treatment or rejuvenation regimen.

 

The Science of dermal fillers

With age, (conspicuously with the onset of 30 years of age), the human body stops producing the 2 most crucial proteins responsible to maintain youth i.e.—‘collagen’ and ‘elastin’.

As a result, skin becomes more susceptible to sagging, aging & wrinkling. The 2 proteins work together to keep skin tissues tightened and skin firm ‘n’ elastic, and the remaining collagen in the body starts to break down.

Due to a lack of these proteins, the body starts to exhibit typical signs of aging (like hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, wrinkles, deep fine lines, crow’s feet, sagging skin, squared jaws, etc) as the body no longer has a resource of keeping tissues strapping and skin supple.

The injectables like the non-surgical treatment option of dermal fillers are principally designed to eliminate or minimize the appearance of facial lines, folds, deep fine lines, and wrinkles.

Dermal fillers, a large number of which are made up of hyaluronic acid (an organically occurring sugar chain particle that tempts and ties together water in the skin), can be used to work in consonance with the body’s existing collagen and elastin, aiding these all-essential proteins to provide skin a fuller and younger appearance.

Hyaluronic Acid is a natural compound that occurs throughout the human body and has properties to provide volume, hydration, and improve definition and skin elasticity.

A balanced dermal filler treatment has a soft tissue filler with a stabilized form of HA, which is biocompatible to your skin.

 

Difference between synthetic & natural dermal fillers

There are two main classifications of dermal fillers:

  1. Natural
  2. Synthetic

 

Natural dermal fillers

Natural Dermal fillers are naturally-derived dermal fillers. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Collagen-based are 2 types` of natural dermal fillers available today.

Hyaluronic acid got FDA approval as a dermal filler in 2003. Collagen fillers got FDA-approval way earlier in 1981 and can be either human-derived or bovine.

Another natural kind of skin filler is your own fat—skin specialists can obtain it from your body (primarily the love handles), and inject it into the recipient site.

Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging Fillers are presently the most popular category of fillers with different variants and each works in a slightly different way with differing results.

With HA, there is a much smaller risk of allergic reaction though reactions can occur. Side effects linked to HA be rare but can cause swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site.

The filler may also appear below the skin as tiny bumps but improves over time. Side effects of HA are also short-lived like the results.

Once the fillers begin to dematerialize, you will require getting more filler injected to sustain results. Most people who get HA fillers require at least one follow-up injection within 12 months.

As per some clinical research, repeated injections may help trigger the body’s own natural collagen production.

It will enable decreasing the number of lines and creases. Also, you could not be informed, that less filler is required over time to attain the same look.

The results from HA base Dermal Fillers vary from several months to over a year or two. Results are quick but will only last between 3 to 18 months (occasionally up to two years) because the filler eventually breaks down.

Hyaluronic acid wrinkle fillers include:

  • Juvederm XC
  • Juvederm Ultra XC
  • Juvederm Voluma XC
  • Juvederm Volbella XC
  • Restylane
  • Restylane Defyne
  • Restylane-L
  • Restylane-Lift
  • Restylane Refyne
  • Restylane Silk
  • Prevelle Silk
  • Hylaform
  • Belotero Balance

 

Synthetic fillers

On the other hand are Synthetic Fillers that contain non-organic or lab-made materials such as liquid silicone, polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA), or calcium hydroxylapatite to the hyaluronic injection.

These added synthetic compounds are not naturally found in the skin and can’t be cracked down and ingested by the body, which thereby makes fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra semi-permanent.

Synthetic dermal fillers last much longer than natural ones and are considered semi-permanent though many call them permanent because they don’t vanish.

The lines and wrinkles began to return only because you continue to age or you continue to have sun exposure due to being lax about applying for sunscreen protection daily.

If synthetic fillers are not used correctly, they may cause disfigurement of the face.

Synthetic fillers have risks that are almost the same as natural ones except the difference is since synthetic fillers are “permanent” the potential complications can be “permanent” as well and are difficult to dissolve which is not the case with naturally-derived fillers.

Results from ‘semi-permanent’ or ‘permanent fillers’ can last up to 5 years, or even more.

Synthetic wrinkle fillers include:

  • Sculptra
  • Radiesse
  • Bellafill

 

Are there any better alternatives to dermal fillers?

Alternatives

Different treatment comes with varying benefits and limitations, so we can’t really conclude which is better than the other. Here are some most promising non-invasive alternative treatment options that can be considered based on individual needs, budgeting, and other factors.

Non-Invasive Collagen Stimulation

There is a range of skin-tightening products and topical creams that asserts to work by stimulating the production of collagen without actually resurfacing the skin.

These include a radiofrequency treatment platform known as Thermage and laser stimulation by Intense Pulsed light. These alternative treatments deliver modest to noticeable improvements but results are not remarkable for the majority of patients.

Minimally Invasive Skin Resurfacing or Laser Resurfacing

Microdermabrasion, non-ablative laser resurfacing, and chemical peels, are all options for treating wrinkles and fine lines. Microdermabrasion involves removing the topmost layer of the epidermis.

However, laser procedures and medium-depth chemical peels target the skin at a deeper layer and may help stimulate more collagen in the skin in the process of healing.

Microdermabrasion has zero downtime while laser resurfacing and peels do demand taking a break.

With these dermal filler alternatives, you may see significant smoothing of wrinkles but not much improvement for deep folds like the Laugh Lines or Nasolabial folds.

In fact, dermal filler treatment can be used in combination with skin/laser resurfacing to have the full possible amount of skin correction.

 

Facial Implants and Grafting

Dermal fillers substitute to reshape and reconstruct facial contours which include implants and fat grafting. Cheek and Lip implants are produced with soft silicone and implanted by making small incisions.

It helps to fill in areas that have become empty-looking or depressed with age such as the cheeks or temples. This type of augmentation is arranged for individuals looking for a conspicuous change in the shape or size of their facial features.

However, specialists most often recommend getting dermal fillers first particularly to make sure the patient really wants to make these changes permanent.

It is also often used for treating deep nasolabial folds and lip enhancement. The alternative is a much more expensive treatment than dermal fillers. If the procedure is successful, it may offer long-lasting and very realistic results.

What are dermal fillers used to fix?

Benefits

Dermal fillers can be used to fix a variety of cosmetic and medical concerns related to facial defects, and aging, including:

  • Adding volume and creasing out the folds and deep lines that run from the nose to the mouth (also called nasolabial folds or smile lines).
  • Lifting and filling hollow cheeks to improve their shape, often creating youthful fullness.
  • Filling out depressions (concaves) under the eye area.
  • Adding volume and surface to thin lips and finishing out vertical lines near the edges of the lips.
  • Even out the indented or recessed scars from acne or chicken pox using surrounding skin.
  • Supplementing volume to fill up the lankiness in the lower cheek or temple area, usually occurs due to fat pads shifting underneath the skin’s surface.
  • Improve and reconstruct shallow contours or deformities in the face.
  • Minimize or eliminate the shadow of the lower lids.

 

How are dermal fillers different from BOTOX?

Don’t confuse Soft tissue or Dermal Fillers with Botox. Although both procedures involve injections, Botox is typically injected near the forehead, and wrinkles surrounding the eyes (crow’s feet) impede muscle movement that contributes to wrinkles.

Botox is just not concerned with the smoothing, filling, and plumping effect that dermal fillers have.

While Botox is only used in the face, Fillers are used in the face to restore volume and fill in deep wrinkles and nasal folds and are not just for facial rejuvenation.

Fillers are also used elsewhere to rejuvenate the body. For instance, Radiesse has been FDA-approved for subdermal transplantation into the hands to soften wrinkles and conceal visible veins.

And because both work for different purposes and in a different manner, people choose to get both Botox and dermal fillers—the combination can produce an appreciable younger-looking face.

 

Where dermal fillers are used?

Applications

Fillers for anti-aging treatment

No cosmetic or medical treatment can permanently stop the body’s consummation of collagen, but dermal fillers may slacken the degree of depletion.

Over time, some soft tissue fillers encourage the body to produce collagen at the injection site, which indicates that patients may need less of the product over the years to attain the same look.

Different formulas are available to treat different facial flaws (like nasolabial folds, neck augmentation, cheek augmentation, contouring, eyebrow lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, hands, and lip enhancement) and degrees of wrinkles.

Some soft tissue fillers include anesthetics to elevate your ease throughout the procedure of injecting.

Dermal fillers provide long-lasting, natural results for rejuvenated youthful skin, so there are barely any chances of you looking frozen post-treatment unless your filler administrator does not goof up due lack of skills.

Use by men is growing too

It’s not just women who are adding up – but men too are increasingly replacing soft tissue.

Men get fillers to look more chiseled and muscular, unlike their female counterparts who use them to have a plump and puffy effect. For men, fillers that aren’t HA-based, like Radiesse or Sculptra are used.

Fillers for Facial Contouring

Dermal filler treatment for facial contouring can be used for:

Cheeks

With age, comes the ongoing phases through which we keep losing essential fat from our face, particularly in the cheek area and under the eyes.

Dermal fillers are an ideal non-invasive, cost-effective solution for adding volume to cheeks because the product does not tend to shift once injected and can be administered to treat large surface areas in one procedure.

The result is realistic and contoured looks usual in more youthful cheeks. The best Dermal Filler available for cheek augmentation is HA-based Juvederm Voluma. It is FDA approved and can resolve many of your face’s age-related issues.

Chin & jawline

Since the filler is relieved of shifting after being injected, it is perfect for the rebuilding, re-shaping, contouring, and augmentation of the chin that complements and balances with your other facial features.

The fillers ideally offer a smoother, firmer chin and contour the jaw line, thus resulting in a more defined chin and jaw line.

Lips

Dermal fillers are good for different patient types who either want to have very subtle plumping or are seeking voluptuous, sensuous lips and often, who desire something in between.

It also helps to get rid of the vertical lines appearing majorly on the lower lip. Restylane® Silk, Restylane® or JUVÉDERM® is most commonly used to treat lip area.

Parenthesis (Smile lines)

The pronounced lines of aging running from the corner of the nose down to the outer area of the lips can be corrected with non-surgical dermal fillers.

Up until now, filler treatments for this problem had a short to medium lifespan. Now, laugh lines can be effectively softened with soft tissue filler injected into the deep dermis, and with much long-lasting results.

Oral Commissure (Marionette lines)

These are the lines that form at the corners of the mouth as age increases and can make a person look depressed or displeased even when the face is at rest.

Treatment with dermal filler helps to cautiously smooth out these small lines with only local anesthesia. Fillers generally provide immediate results for commissure.

Mental crease

These are a form of wrinkles that appear under the bottom lip due to aging. Fillers allow augmenting these deep indentations without surgical means, softening the curvature of the area and shedding off years from your face.

Earlobe rejuvenation

Fillers are also been used off-label to provide aid to droopy earlobes, which enables females of age to wear their heavy earrings a bit comfortably.

Hollow temples

It is critical to know that NO SKIN FILLER is FDA-approved for use around the eyes, meaning that research has not been assessed for safety in this sensitive area.

For hollow temples, fillers work great to fill up the emptiness caused on both upper sides of the forehead that if depressed makes a person look more than the actual age. Juvederm Voluma or Sculptra works good to achieve a fullness in the temple area.

Lines around the neck

A variety of dermal fillers have been shown to recreate beautiful necks that are free of lines and wrinkles. The injection to lift the sagging neck can transform a complete face.

For neck lift and smoothing, Restylane Lyft and Juvederm XC can get the best natural results. The correct filler which is best for you will be decided during your consultation with the specialist.

Bags under the eyes

If you are suffering from dark circles or bags under your eyes due to aging or heredity, dermal fillers can do wonderful work to fill up the hollows & concaves between them and your upper cheek area.

Filler work by constructing a smooth area and a realistic-looking contour that can take away years from your appearance. For a  more potentially productive procedure, deep injections can also be targeted between the cheeks and the lower orbital rim with a soft tissue filler called Radiesse, which stimulates your skin to produce its own collagen.

More so there can be various techniques used in this procedure such as tunneling or threading or tunneling or bolus to allow easily pushing up the skin.

Dermal fillers for circles around the eyes and sunken eyes

Dark circles can be a result of aging, heredity, stress, and certain autoimmune medical diseases. With time your eyes tend to get rounded black and form deep dents under the eyes.

To correct the issue, dermal fillers can help fill the vacant, gaunt, deep troughs and lighten the deep dark circles by refining contours and bringing back vitality and youth. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, and results can last for up to a year.

The filler is injected at various depths to even out the tissues. Benefits will be visible immediately. Botox can also be used in conjunction to elevate the outcomes of dermal fillers in these areas.

Dermal fillers for scars

For scars & acne scars

Many of you may be wondering if skin fillers can also be used for scars. The fortunate thing about fillers is that it allows the healing of even the oldest of recessed scars, which are otherwise obstinate to dissipate.

One non-invasive technique that has been known to work quite impressively for people with acne scars is soft tissue fillers. Many people have received remarkable results from fillers on extensive and very deep facial scars.

Dermal fillers for acne scars

The practitioner injects the correct chosen filler directly into the area of the scar with a syringe. The injectable immediately adds volume to the area, and positive results are seen right away.

Some of the most workable fillers for treating acne scars are Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm, and Perlane. For example, your practitioner might suggest you filler— Perlane if you have very severe scars. Perlane can also be injected into your skin to treat larger areas of acne scars, and the results will last for 9 months or even longer.

 

Dermal Fillers for the eyes to achieve superior facial contouring

Soft tissue fillers can be used to attain superior facial contouring without entailing you to the complications linked with invasive plastic surgery.

The completely non-invasive procedure that uses injectable soft tissue fillers can provide you with a younger and fresh appearance by decreasing or removing the deep sets, dark circles, and under-eye bags.

 

Dermal fillers for hand rejuvenation

The advantages of reversing prominent aging effects by Soft tissue Fillers are not just restricted to the face and facial features. It is also used to repair the signs of aging that occurs in hands.

The pronounced veins that appear on the hand’s surface may be due to aging or genetics. The good news is that dermal fillers can help to potentially smoothen out the appearance of these spider veins, shrinkages, and folds that form on mid-joints and protruding knuckles.

 

The complete procedure of how Dermal fillers work?

Procedure

Anti-aging Fillers injectables have emerged as a sensible way of softening wrinkles and fine lines.

Fillers are injected directly into the muscle that contributes to facial contractions, for example, the frown lines between the brows, and works by putting a pause on facial nerves from sending the message to the muscle to compress each time you make a facial expression.

This enables the muscle to relax and as an outcome, the overlying skin disperses its creases and fine lines.

Dermal fillers are either synthetic or naturally-derived that is directly injected into the skin with the object of plumping that area of the face that is sagging, shrunk, or deformed to the point where the loosening, depression, wrinkle, or fold is gone.

Based on the type of filler injected, the effects can last anywhere from 6 months to 5 years.

Skilled administration of injections means realistic, natural-looking results, for the most aesthetically pleasing and sagacious outcomes.

 

Dermal fillers recovery

Recovery

It is the type of filler injected and of course, the individual patients determine the recovery from filler treatment. It varies accordingly.

But in general, a filler recipient can return to most activities right away, but it is usually advised to avoid strenuous physical activities for the initial 1-2 days to alleviate redness swelling, and bruising.

It is recommended to discuss your particular recovery plan with your specialist before scheduling your injections.

Your initial appearance post-treatment with any dermal filler may include:

  • An “overfilled” appearance to injected areas
  • Recognizable lumps or hard skin surface at the treated areas
  • Temporary Redness or Numbness
  • Bruising ranging from mild to severe
  • Hypersensitivity reaction that may appear similar to an allergic reaction with hives and swelling

This initial appearance last for several hours to a few days. These can be relieved with massaging or topical icing and will improve within a couple of hours or a day or two.

Remember when your fat is the injected filler, the process of healing takes longer and may be up to a few weeks.

 

Results

The results from dermal filler augmentation using soft tissue fillers are observable immediately and will last from several months to a few years depending on the type of filler used, the issue, and the patient injected.

The patient must make sure to maintain good overall health and keep skin healthy and strong with the right products and skin-friendly regimen that will improve longevity and results.

 

How long will dermal fillers last?

Life of fillers

It depends on how your body reacts and which hyaluronic acid is used, but most dermal fillers will last between six and 18 months.

Precisely, of course, it depends – on what area/areas were treated, and with which product. Cosmetic skin fillers are long-lasting, but not permanent.

Shorter-term skin fillers made up of hyaluronic acids, such as Juvederm and Restylane, will last somewhere from 6-18 months, again depending on the areas treated and the metabolism of your body.

Long-lasting fillers, made ofnon-naturall substances, such as Sculptra or Bellafill, actually boost your collagen to “produce” in as the filler. The results of these treatments last as long as 3 to 5 years or even more in some cases.

Filler Recipients are needed to have a follow-up treatment 6-12 months after the first treatment for facial contouring, anti-aging, or wrinkles. For lip enhancements by lip injections, a follow-up visit after about 6-9 months is recommended.
