Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly used in cosmetic procedures to address signs of aging or to enhance specific facial features. Dermal fillers work by adding volume to areas of the face that have lost collagen and fat due to aging, resulting in wrinkles, folds, or hollows.
There are various types of dermal fillers available, with different formulations suited for specific purposes. The most common types include hyaluronic acid fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, poly-L-lactic acid fillers, and collagen-based fillers. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular due to their versatility and natural-looking results.
Dermal fillers can be used to address a variety of concerns, including:
Dermal filler injections are typically performed in a clinical setting by a trained healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Before the procedure, the treatment area may be numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The filler is then injected into specific areas of the face using a fine needle or cannula, and the process usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
Results from dermal fillers are visible immediately, although there may be some swelling or bruising initially. The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used, the treated area, and individual factors such as metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, while other types of fillers may have longer-lasting results.
Dermal fillers are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified professional. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks and potential side effects, including bruising, swelling, redness, asymmetry, infection, and allergic reactions. It’s essential to choose a reputable provider and discuss any concerns or medical history before undergoing treatment.
