When the word "fillers" is used, each age and/or social group will have completely different associations. And all because this term is very widely used in areas that are very distant from each other. So, for example, to the question "Fillers - what are they?" anime fans will give a very different answer from people who are knowledgeable in the medical and cosmetic field.
Origin
The word "filler" comes from the English "filler", which means "filler". Therefore, this term is used in the description of such concepts. Consider the main ones.
In the world of fantasy and dreams
Fillers are episodes of anime series filmed separately from the manga. Often they reveal the characters' personalities at the discretion of the director and screenwriters, or are humorous inserts. Fillers are usually used to keep anime series from getting ahead of manga chapters. Also, this phenomenon takes place in television series with a through plot. Additional material is a must-see for true fans of movie stories and is not always broadcast on television.channels.
Why are they needed - filler inserts?
Anime is the common name for Japanese animated films and series. Manga are Japanese comics. A lot of anime series are based on them. Sometimes exactly repeating each of the painted scenes in colorized form, sometimes on the basis.
Manga chapters are usually released once a month, new episodes, however, have a different weekly frequency. Despite the fact that anime is almost never released immediately when a comic is released, after a while the plot of the series begins to catch up with its "base". To avoid this, fillers are inserted. This is a technique that the creators of the series also use. Sometimes very interesting characters appear in fillers, who are remembered by the audience and already about their adventures they shoot spin-offs (film or television works with a branch off from the main plot).
Fillers are obviously weaker than the main series: they are easy to "calculate" by drawing, dialogues, way of narration. Sometimes they make a kind of combination. So, half of the episode is filler, while the other half continues to follow the main story.
In cosmetology and medicine
Fillers are preparations for face and body injections. Used as a filler, their purpose is to correct cosmetic defects such as age and expression lines. In addition, with the help of fillers, they increase the volume of the lips and cheekbones, chin and chest.
What are there?
Classification of fillersnext:
- synthetic drugs;
- biosynthetic;
- biodegradable.
The third type is the most widespread. It includes the very popular hyaluronic acid filler. Such drugs, unlike the first two types, have a temporary effect, which is a safer option for he alth. The problem with synthetic and biosynthetic fillers is that biogels increase the risk of developing necrosis and inflammation. This is due to the migration of substances throughout the body, which do not disappear over time.
What are hyaluronic fillers?
The hydrocolloid contained in the intercellular substance is called hyaluronic acid. It is actively involved in the vital activity of cells, is responsible for the production of collagen and elastin, retains moisture in the skin and increases its antioxidant protection.
That is why hyaluronic acid is actively used to create fillers. Preparations are made as close as possible in composition to the substance contained in the skin and mucous membranes. They must be injected directly into the skin, thanks to the acid, the functions of cellular fibrolasts are activated, due to which rejuvenation occurs.
The filler itself is a gel, the greater its density, the less well it is absorbed. Liquid fillers are administered in several sessions, dense fillers require less time, but may have side effects. Therefore, experts recommend the first option. The cost of such therapy will be higher, but itpays off with he alth.
Recommended to whom?
Originally, the treatment was created for mature and aging skin, in an attempt to win the battle against time. However, experts say that hyaluronic acid can also be used for prevention even in youth.
Main indications for the use of hyaluronic fillers:
- wrinkles (both fine and deep, subject to correction);
- dehydrated skin prone to dryness;
- skin elasticity problems;
- pigment spots, dark "circles" under the eyes, dull skin color;
- unpleasant consequences after various cosmetic procedures (peeling, polishing) or plastic surgery.
A separate line is occupied by the correction of nasolabial folds.
"Correction" is made with the help of contour plastics. But despite the fact that many cosmetologists and doctors recommend nasolabial fillers to rejuvenate the overall appearance of the face and skin condition, there is a contrary opinion. So, some argue that it is better to correct nasolabial folds with a lift. Injections with fillers, as a rule, make the face puffy, not for nothing that the term itself comes from the word "fill".
Who is contraindicated for?
Fillers cannot be used if:
- poor blood clotting;
- herpes or other inflammatory processes;
- already have permanent fillers (silicone);
- pregnancy or lactation;
- infectious orautoimmune diseases.
How do they work?
Fillers are a kind of "help" to nature. Hyaluronic acid saturates the skin, makes it supple and smooth with the help of natural ingredients that not only do not harm, but are also beneficial to the body. No wonder biorevitalization - the process of saturating the substance - means "natural revitalization".
Injections of the drug give the following result:
- skin heals, smoothness and elasticity returns:
- wrinkles disappear;
- intensive skin hydration occurs.
It should be mentioned that this procedure is almost painless.
How long does the drug last?
Depending on age, he alth and initial condition of the skin, diet, presence / absence of bad habits and other factors, hyaluronic fillers have an effect from several months to two years. An important factor, of course, is the quality of the drug itself.
How to enter?
There are two main ways to inject hyaluronic acid under the skin:
- Mesotherapy. Fine needles are used for the necessary and sufficient depth.
- Laser therapy. As the name implies, lasers are used. Disadvantage - not always possible to apply for sufficient depth.
Both methods are carried out in three to five sessions. It is also recommended to maintain the condition of the fillers every few months with a therapy of two to three sessions.
Cream filler:what is this?
Cream-filler is a non-invasive drug, a replacement for collagen injections or the already mentioned hyaluronic acid. The effect of this cosmetic product is moisturizing and smoothing wrinkles. However, unfortunately, it is observed only when the cream is on the skin.
Flaws
The secret of the most important minus was already revealed a little earlier: it is worth washing off the product from the face - and the miraculous effect is gone. Although, of course, a fraction of the benefit in the form of skin hydration remains.
Second drawback: not all filler creams are "friends" with decorative cosmetics, and the opposite situation - not all foundations and numerous powders are ready to interact on an equal footing with the drug.
The last danger posed by the cream filler is allergic reactions. Moreover, an unpleasant consequence may not appear immediately, lie low and flare up at the most inopportune time after weeks of use.
How to apply?
Cream-filler is applied mainly to wrinkles, if it is a local drug. However, if a general purpose tool is used, then it is applied to all problems in the area. You can apply foundation on top. Some fillers can be mixed directly into the foundation for ease of application.
In conclusion
As you can see, the word "filler" has two completely opposite meanings. It has one origin, which has been interpreted in very different ways in different areas.
Filler in the film industry is notComplains by admirers of good works with a solid plot. Fillers in cosmetology cause discussions about their benefits and harms. Obviously, in both cases, only exhaustive information will help to understand.
