What are dermal fillers? π
π Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected into the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features.
π What are they made of?
Common types of dermal fillers include hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps with hydration and volume.
π How do they work?
Fillers are injected under the skin to fill in wrinkles, add volume to areas like cheeks and lips, and reshape facial contours.
π What can they treat?
Dermal fillers can address various concerns, including:
πͺ Facial wrinkles and lines: Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other age-related wrinkles.
πͺ Volume loss: In cheeks, temples, lips, and other areas where volume has decreased with age.
πͺ Facial asymmetry: Improving the balance and proportions of the face.
πͺ Non-surgical rhinoplasty: Reshaping the nose. π
What are the benefits? π
π Dermal fillers offer several benefits, including:
Immediate results: Results are often visible right after the procedure.
π Minimal downtime: Swelling and bruising are common but usually subside within a few days.
π Non-surgical: They provide a less invasive alternative to surgical procedures.
π What are the potential side effects?
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. More serious side effects, though rare, can include infection, allergic reactions, or complications related to the filler itself.
How long do results last? π
π The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used and the individual, but typically lasts from 6 to 18 months.
π What should I consider before getting dermal fillers?
π¨ It's essential to consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner to discuss your goals, assess your suitability for treatment, and understand the potential risks and benefits. They can help you choose the right type of filler for your specific needs. π¨
