Everything You Need to Know About Dermal Filler Treatment

A dermal filler injection is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure. Your face looks plumper and smoother after using dermal fillers. These substances are injected under your skin by your healthcare provider.

The purpose of dermal fillers is toenhance facial features or to give the appearance of youth. It usually takes less than half an hour to complete this elective procedure, and recovery time is minimal. According to the type and location of the filler, results are visible right away and last for months to years.

Dermal fillers come in a variety of types. You will be advised of your options by your healthcare provider. All cosmetic procedures carry risks, such as infection, bleeding, and bruising. Elective cosmetic procedures such as filler injections are generally not covered by health insurance plans.

How long dermal fillers last will vary depending on the type of filler used.

In your skin, hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring acid. In addition to giving your skin volume, it also keeps it hydrated. Hyaluronic acid production decreases with age hence HA fillers such as Restylane are commonly used. In addition, the injections of HA usually last between six months and a year.

A calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler is derived from a substance found in your bones. It takes about a year for these fillers to show results. CaHA fillers are usually used for deeper wrinkles by healthcare providers. Radiesse is an example of a CaHA filler.

Your body creates collagen with the help of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). In order to smooth deep wrinkles on your face, healthcare providers usually use poly-L-lactic acid. It is possible for the results to last for two years or longer. Sculptra is one type of PLLA filler.

Injectable polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fillers consist of collagen and very small balls that remain under your skin after injection. Your skin is firmer and more volumized due to the balls. PMMA fillers include Bellafill.
