Dermal Fillers are injectable Implants soft tissues fillers. They are also known as “wrinkle fillers”. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to reinstate lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours.
Dermal fillers can be done by two types of substances:
Naturally occurring substances:
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance that is already found in the skin. It keeps the skin hydrated and plump. It is soft and gel like.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
Calcium Hydroxylapatite is also a naturally occurring substance that is found in the bones. When used in filler, the calcium particles are suspended in a smooth gel. The consistency of a CaHA filler is typically thicker than that of a hyaluronic acid filler.
Biocompatible Substances:
Poly-L-lactic Acid
Poly-L-lactic acid products are technically classified as “collagen stimulators,” as their main mechanism is to smooth fine lines is by helping your skin rebuild natural collagen the filler gel itself dissolves a few days after treatment. Poly-L-lactic acid is typically used to treat deeper facial wrinkles.
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
In Dermal Fillers, PMMA takes the form of a “microsphere” or tiny ball that remains beneath the skin indefinitely to provide continued support. PMMA fillers will also contain collagen, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that provides structure and firmness.
Autologous fat injections (facial fat grafting)
Autologous fat injections are the only injectable filler treatment that requires surgery. Autologous means “from the same person” typically using liposuction. The fat is then purified and injected into the face to help restore volume to the cheeks, temples, lower eyelids, or other areas.
