Despite fillers’ popularity, there are still several questions about it, like what fillers are made of, does it stick under your skin forever, and where can you inject this stuff?
There are 4 major structural components of the face. These are skin, fat, muscles, and bone. As the years pass by, age-related bone loss in the face can lead to retraction of the jawline, descent of the nose, and loss of high cheekbones. The facial muscles decrease in volume and elasticity; its deflation and fat facial movement further accentuate the signs of aging. When the skin stretches and loses its elasticity, it leads to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other familiar signs of aging, and this is where dermal fillers come in.
Fillers are a part of the new age range of minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that can pause aging. Dermal fillers are soft, the gel-like substance injected under the skin. It can help smooth fine lines and replenish lost volume, thereby giving you a more youthful appearance. The most common skin concern it addresses is deep under-eye circles, cheekbones that need to be lifted, volumization of the lips, smoothing lip lines and nasolabial folds, and rejuvenation of the hands.
There are a variety of substances that compose dermal fillers. Some are synthetic, and some are naturally occurring. The most frequently used compound in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in our skin, and it plays a significant role in keeping the skin moisturized and hydrated. These types of fillers generally last between 6 months or longer before being gradually absorbed by the body.
Most filler treatments take about 15 to 30 minutes and require one clinic visit as they offer immediate results. After the treatment, patients can expect minimal downtimes such as redness and swelling, but you can go back to your everyday activities after leaving the clinic.
