Learn More About the Different Types of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers , such as Juvederm, Restylane, Revanesse, are specialized injections that can help restore lost volume to your skin. They can smooth out lines and wrinkles, enhancing the overall contours of your face. They provide facial balancing and harmony.

These injections are a key part of cosmetics medicine and are used to help achieve a more youthful appearance. There are many different types of fillers available, each with its own unique properties. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the main types.

1. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic acid (HA) occurs naturally in the human body, primarily in connective tissues, skin, and cartilage. It helps to retain moisture, provide lubrication, and maintain skin elasticity.

As a filler, Dermatologist Dr. Minuk finds HA treatments popular due to their smooth texture, ease of use, and immediate effect

Uses:

·       Lip enhancement

·       Smoothing nasolabial folds (smile lines)

·       Adding a natural appearing volume to cheeks,

·       Jaw line contouring and enhancement

·       Chin enhancement and augmentation

·       Improving the appearance of under-eye hollows and temple hollowing

·       Reversing, a tired, saggy or sad appearance

2. Bio-Stimulatory (collagen stimulators) Fillers

There are Two Types Commonly Used:

      I.         Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite) Filler

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a biocompatible compound found naturally in human bones. It’s denser and thicker than HA fillers, making it more effective at treating deeper lines and wrinkles. CaHA fillers can provide immediate volume and help stimulate the body’s own collagen production over time, leading to longer-lasting results. Typically, these fillers can last up to two years.

    II.         Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic Acid) Fillers

Sculptra is a synthetic biodegradable substance that serves as a collagen stimulator. Rather than providing immediate volume like HA fillers, it encourages your body to produce its own collagen over a series of treatments. Results may take time to develop but they can look much more natural and subtle.

Indications:

·       Face or neck: skin tightening, lifting, add volume, improve skin texture and provide a skin glow

·       Improve saggy abdomen, wrinkled skin of knees or elbows,

·       Non-surgical facelift

·       Enhance: smile lines, marionette lines, cheeks

·       Revitalizing the back of the hands

·       Enhance facial contours of cheeks and jawline

·       Acne scars, facial hollowing
