What is a Dermal Fillers?

One of the most common questions about fillers is, “What is a dermal filler?” Dermal fillers are used to correct wrinkles and other facial ageing signs by adding volume to your skin. They can also make different facial features more symmetrical, like lips or cheeks.

Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), which naturally occurs in your body at all ages. As you age, HA starts breaking down and loses some of its ability to maintain moisture levels in the skin.

Who are They Recommended for?

Dermal fillers are recommended for people who want to improve their appearance, look younger, and make a long-lasting difference. They can be used on the face, neck, hands, and body. Fillers can also reduce facial wrinkles and lines (creases that come from smiling or frowning). For example:

  • Someone with moderate to severe facial lines should consider dermal fillers to improve their appearance.
  • A person who wants to look younger may benefit from dermal fillers if they have moderate to severe wrinkles visible when they smile or frown.

Procedure and Applications of Fillers

The procedure itself is quick. It takes just a few minutes to inject the dermal filler into your skin, and it’s completely painless (though you might feel a bit of discomfort). Your doctor will numb the area with a topical cream before injecting the filler into your skin.

There are several ways to inject dermal fillers: using a small needle or muscular injections and even more advanced techniques such as ultrasound-assisted injections. The method you use depends on the type of product being injected, but either way, any discomfort can be reduced with anesthetic creams that will take effect before or during treatment.

There are many different uses for dermal fillers. Some of the most common applications include:

  • Facial lines (including nasolabial folds and crow’s feet)
  • Skin regeneration after laser resurfacing or microdermabrasion treatments
  • Lip enhancement
  • Nose reshaping
  • Chin augmentation
  • Breast augmentation

 

As you can see, dermal fillers are an excellent option for anyone looking to improve the appearance of wrinkles and scars on their face. They’re safe and effective, but they should only be used by licensed skin professionals trained in the procedure.
