What are dermal fillers?<\/h2>\n

Sometimes known as \u201cliquid facelifts,” dermal fillers<\/a> restore youthful fullness to your face, plump your lips, enhance shallow contours, and soften facial creases and wrinkles. Unlike surgical procedures, dermal fillers are minimally invasive. They work fast, too; most of them fill lines and wrinkles in less than 30 minutes. And the results can last from six months to two years.<\/p>\n

That said, dermal fillers have their limitations. They can\u2019t help with certain dermatological issues, such as excess sagging skin. But they can add more volume to the face and reduce the appearance of folds and deep wrinkles \u2014 all at a significantly lower cost than more invasive treatments.<\/p>\n

Five types of dermal fillers<\/h2>\n

Today\u2019s dermal fillers are either temporary or semi-permanent. Bear in mind that not just any dermal filler is right for every kind of wrinkle. You must choose the right one if you want the least risk and the best results.<\/p>\n

1. Hyaluronic acid<\/h3>\n

A naturally occurring substance found in the body, hyaluronic acid diminishes the appearance of wrinkles when it\u2019s introduced under your skin. It acts to bind and absorb water, creating volume in your face. As you age, the hyaluronic acid naturally found in your body diminishes. And with its disappearance come lines and folds. Such dermal fillers as Juv\u00e9derm<\/a>, Revanesse<\/a>, and Restylane correct signs of aging by restoring hyaluronic acid. They also improve your skin\u2019s contour and reduce depressions and folds. Most importantly, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved in the rare case of an adverse reaction.<\/p>\n

2. Collagen<\/h3>\n

A naturally occurring protein in your body, collagen connects and supports skin, cartilage, muscle, and other tissue. As your skin ages and collagen breaks down, wrinkles, frown lines, and fine lines start to appear. Although collagen injections will not prevent skin from aging, they can soften the signs. They also fill scars and add volume, enhancing your face\u2019s youthful appearance.<\/p>\n

3. Polylactic acid<\/h3>\n

A synthetic substance that stimulates the production of collagen, nontoxic, biodegradable polylactic acid fills facial lines. It works particularly well in the lower half of the face, filling laugh lines, augmenting thin lips, and raising deep nasolabial folds. But you must be patient with it; unlike other dermal fillers, polylactic acid\u2019s results appear over a few months.<\/p>\n

4. Calcium hydroxylapatite<\/h3>\n

A mineral-like compound in human bones, calcium hydroxylapatite, is the heaviest facial dermal filler. It fills such moderate-to-severe creases as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and frown lines. It also plumps cheeks and other facial contours. Calcium hydroxylapatite\u2013based dermal fillers are semi-permanent and produce very natural-looking results.<\/p>\n

5. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)<\/h3>\n

Semi-permanent dermal filler PMMA exists as tiny microspheres that are suspended in 80% purified collagen gel. This gel breaks down over time, and your body produces its own collagen to replace it. PMMA works well with medium-to-deep wrinkles, folds, furrows, and nasolabial folds. It also fills pitted scars and augments thin lips.<\/p>\n

Expect the extraordinary<\/h2>\n

Dermal fillers produce results that are noticeable, but the actual procedure is quite simple. Here\u2019s how a treatment goes:<\/p>\n
