Fillers: what are they?
Filler, or dermal filler, is a material that is injected under the skin with special injections. These drugs are used in plastic surgery and are very popular. The method is called contouring.
The purpose of using these products is to smooth wrinkles, improve skin texture, model the shape of the lips, eliminate circles and bags under the eyes. To correct the contour of the face, fillers are introduced into the cheekbones. Also, this procedure makes the skin more elastic. This method is less traumatic, which is a significant plus.
What is a filler and what are its types?
Today, there are many varieties of fillers. However, they must all be biocompatible with the skin. Also, the drug must not cause inflammatory and allergic reactions and not lead to infection with infections. There should be no side effects. In some cases, minor short-term inconvenience is allowed. It is important that the agent does not lead to the appearance of nodules underskin. It is required that the filler remains strictly in the injection zone. The effect should be long-term, but it is important that the drug is 100% broken down in the body. An indicator of a good filler is the short duration of the procedure and a short rehabilitation period. After using the product, a natural look should be created.
What is a permanent and temporary filler?
Permanent fillers are synthetic substances that are not broken down in the body. The idea of a permanent effect is tempting, which is why clients show great interest in this procedure. However, now such substances are not used primarily because of the high risk of developing inflammatory processes. Often, these fillers do not take root, resulting in scarring and granulomas. In some cases, this manifests itself several months or years after the procedure. Moreover, the substance is extremely difficult to remove (in most cases impossible), even if the client wants it.
Therefore, temporary fillers are much safer and more effective. Of course, the procedure must be repeated, but you will be sure of its reliability. The most commonly used are collagen, hyaluronic and polylactic acids, the client's own adipose tissue and calcium hydroxipatite. Each of the substances has its own splitting rate, and hence the frequency of repeating the procedure.
What is a hyaluronic acid filler?
This acid is present in the skin and is an important component of it. Its structure is the same for all living beings, which means that allergy tests are not required. Foruse as a filler stabilizes the substance.
Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers
Cosmetic effect lasts about 1-2 years. The substance does not cause inflammatory and antigenic reactions. This allows it to be used very widely, including for correcting the shape of the nose without surgery. The substance is absolutely safe.
