DERMAL
FILLERS
What are
Dermal Fillers?
Folds and wrinkles can be smoothened using Dermal
Fillers, which can give you
a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are natural
or synthetic substances that are infused in the deep layer of the skin,
filling in wrinkles, crevasses, or scars. Some of the most famous
dermal fillers in the
market are Restylane, AQUAMID,
and Matridex.
The chosen Dermal filler material
is injected into the lines and/or defects to plump them out. The
material then remains in the skin where it binds with water to produce
a lift and firmness to the treated areas.
Risks on
Dermal Fillers
Complications are uncommon in Dermal
Fillers. However, there is
a possibility that allergic reactions (hypersensitivity), bacterial
infection, ulceration, scar formation, reactivation of herpes
infection, and granuloma formation may occur.
Dermal
Fillers Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
What
areas respond best to Dermal
fillers?
A: Deeper wrinkles and folds in the cheek areas respond well using
Restylane. Fine lines on the upper and lower lip that do not require
laser resurfacing also smoothen and fill nicely with Restylane.
Question:
Will I
need multiple Dermal Filler treatments?
Most folds
and wrinkles require one treatment. It would take approximately six
months or longer to do a maintenance treatment. These products last
almost twice as long as regular collagen injections. Unlike permanent
implants, the advantage of using Restylane is that you can have a
touch-up treatment when the effect has worn off.
Question:
How
long is my recovery period?
Normal
activities can be resumed immediately after the Dermal
Filler procedure.
Fortunately, there is minimal discomfort. There may be a little
swelling in the treatment site, which only lasts a few hours. There may
be slight bruising, which can be easily concealed with make-up.
