Turn Back the Clock

By Alina H. Winamaker


The elasticity of skin that comes naturally weakens over time, saggy skin, wrinkles and lines are the result. Young skin looks plump and taut thanks to collagen, but as we age, the collagen in our skin slowly decreases. The effects of dermal fillers are immediate - so you do not have to wait for weeks until the swelling has gone down to see how the procedure has turned out.

Injectable collagen, injectable facial fillers, hyaluronic acid, injectable cosmetic fillers, tissue fillers, facial fillers, or just injectable fillers, dermal fillers go by numerous titles. Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to plump up skin, fill in lines and wrinkles, help correct recessed scars, and rejuvenate the face. There are very pronounced lines that appear between eyebrows or between the corner of the mouth and nose, fillers are used to help these issues, and to make the lips appear more full, primarily.

This process of using dermal fillers is a way to have a younger looking face, to seem as if you have gone back in time and it is much less invasive than other procedures. There is a fast recovery period, sometimes none, and they are much cheaper and less risky than a face lift. Whether for lines and wrinkles, or to make acne or accidental scarring less prominent, many people are choosing dermal fillers. When plastic surgery seems like too invasive of a procedure, dermal filler injections are the right option to revive your appearance.

There are many factors for how long these fillers will be effective, including which product is chosen, skin type of the patient, and the injection site, A lot of choices are out there when it comes to dermal fillers, and the amount of improvement needed, and the places where the correction is desired make up the factors when deciding. Your surgeon will help you select the filler that will best help you reach the look you have in mind. Dermal fillers today are usually one of these 3 types: hyaluronic acid, fat, and collagen. Each of these fillers last about a year, at which point you will need to get re-treated.

Perlane, Radiesse, Juvederm, ZyPlast, Hylaform, Sculptra, Artefill, DermaDeep, and DermaLive are some of the more common brand names of fillers available. Your doctor can explain which type and brand of dermal fillers would be most appropriate for you.

Dermal fillers were the second-most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, just after Botox injections. It is not common for there to be any side effects that result with this option. At times, some side effects like swelling, itching, filler shifting, rash or infection, bruising, and some people just plain are not happy after with the effects.

Dermal fillers are quite effective, but when an experienced professional delivers them, the effects are longer lasting and provide more benefit to patients, who require less treatments in the long term. It's worth it to take the time to seek out an highly experienced and certified physician in order to gain the most from the dermal filler injection process.
