As we age, our bodies begin to change. Our skin changes too. It's getting thinner, losing fat, and doesn't look as fat and smooth as It used to be. Your veins and bones are easier to see. Some signs of aging are lines and wrinkles, age spots, dull skin texture and tone, and other skin imperfections.
While internal aging affects everyone, external aging is caused by sun exposure, pollutants, facial movements, and other factors. These factors further affect your appearance in addition to your natural aging. A daily skincare routine is essential in such cases to prevent some wrinkles and dull skin texture caused by external influences. If you want extra help, fillers for the face, such as dermal filler, can help restore a more youthful face volume and fullness while providing increased lift and support to your face.
Dermal filler treatments can be of many types, although they are all done similarly. Understanding the process and potential hazards is significant before performing any cosmetic procedure.
What is a dermal filler?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances used to increase the skin's volume, usually used on areas such as the chin, cheeks, and lips. But it can also improve facial expressions and prevent wrinkles and lines.
Only medical professionals trained in injections can inject fillers under the skin to create a smoother, more vibrant appearance. The most common type of injectable product is hyaluronic acid dermal fillers because hyaluronic acid is a component that occurs naturally in our bodies. It is considered the best you can find because it is biocompatible and has a low overall incidence of long-term side effects. In general, HA dermal fillers for the face last between 6 and 12 months, while hyaluronic acid-based body fillers such as HYAcorp MLF1 and MLF2 last up to 24 months.
Other dermal fillers are calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), autologous fat injection, and collagen. HA-based and collagen fillers are temporary and don't occupy too many deep layers of the skin. They also have a proven benefit in correcting the extra volume loss that often occurs with age. Plus, this facial reshaping injectable dermal filler delivers predictable and long-lasting results.
Areas that can be helped with dermal filler
While dermal fillers are "wrinkle fillers," dermal filler treatments can do much more. Other common problems that facial fillers can help with are smoothing wrinkles around the nose and mouth (aka marionette lines, smile lines, and braces) and increasing and restoring volume to depressed cheeks or temples. You can also reduce vertical lip lines, tighten and perfect lips, smooth out chin lines, and increase facial symmetry. Below we've rounded up the top 5 areas that can be improved with hyaluronic acid facial fillers:
Lips:
This is perhaps the most well-known use of dermal fillers for face. Many people – especially women – want full, voluminous lips. HA Dermal Lip Filler is injected to add volume and contour to the lips. This procedure is ideal for lips that thin with age or are naturally thin and require extra volume. The best part is that the dermal filler treatment is fully customizable. Your doctor may use a small amount of a product for a smooth contour or a larger amount for a more dramatic result, depending on your preference.
Cheeks:
As you age, you lose subcutaneous fat, which results in a loss of facial volume and flexibility. This draws attention to empty cheekbones and excess skin, resulting in sunken cheeks. This can make a person look sluggish and tired. Cheek fillers for face can be injected into this area to add natural volume and a subtle lift to the face. Some cheek fillers can significantly affect the restoration of the natural definition of the cheeks, and this filler can add volume and shape the cheek area in one treatment.
Chin:
Non-surgical chin augmentation with dermal fillers is an excellent alternative to chin implant surgery. Chin fillers help define and refine your chin, improve your side profile, and reduce the look of a sagging neck in the long run.
Forehead wrinkles:
Wrinkles on the forehead can mean you are getting older. Fortunately, dermal fillers can be used to remedy this. Unlike Botox, which temporarily paralyzes muscles to prevent movement that causes wrinkles, fillers reduce the appearance of clear static lines even when the face is resting. An injectable dermal filler for the face works by physically filling lines with hyaluronic acid and restoring a youthful appearance.
Tear Troughs:
Because the skin is thin or delicate in this area, the skin around the eyes is one of the first places to show signs of aging. Collagen, the protein that gives our skin volume, decreases in our faces as we age. And when this happens, fine lines and wrinkles known as "crow's feet" appear around the eyes or "tears." Bags under the eyes may become more prominent, and the eyes may appear hollow or sunken. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are a fantastic approach to reducing the appearance of crow's feet, sunken areas, and bumps. Fillers like HYAcorp Feel can help revitalize the eye area by improving fine lines and minimizing the appearance of sockets.
