Wendy Lewis an international beauty consultant and expert is here to help you understand what wrinkle fillers can do for you.
There are now a dozen derma fillers available in the US including collagen, halyuronic acid, polylactic acid, and many others. There are two basic types of fillers: the absorbable or temporary fillers that are gradually broken down by the body. And, non-absorbable fillers that are permanent. Permanent fillers like injectable liquid silicon are considered the most controversial.
Collagen, which can come from both animals and humans, is one of the main ingredients of the connective tissue layer and its use to fill up wrinkles in human’s skin. Halyuronic acid is the new collagen, it is naturally found in human body, so it is via compatible and binds to water after being injected into the skin, which adds volume. Because the loss of collagen in halyuronic acid it is partially to blame for the appearance of aging skin, it is not surprising that these fillers are so effective.
The beauty of fillers is that you can achieve a natural looking, supple, rejuvenation effect without anyone knowing that you had anything done. Temporary fillers are also very versatile treatment. They can use to plump crease and folds, enhance the lip shape, add volume to sunken or hallow areas and smooth out your wrinkles.
The treatment is simple and can be performed in your doctor’s office in 30 minutes. Your doctor injects the filling substance into the areas to be treated, after which ice compress is generally applied to reduce any swelling. You may have some mild bruising, but you can return to work almost immediately. Temporary fillers may last from three months to one year. Since temporary fillers are naturally broken down by the body, the area will return to the way it was before it was treated. Therefore, fillers need to be done periodically to maintain result. There is a possibility of side effects from any fillers, but most are avoidable and easily reversible or temporary.
Ask your doctor if the filler is FDA approved before having a treatment. Some products are approved for cosmetic uses whereas others may only be approved the FDA for something else. Look for fillers that have a good safety record, had been on the market for several years and are produced by a reputable company. For best results, injectable wrinkle filler should be perform by a board certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon or cosmetic doctor.
