Age on your Terms

By Alistair Leaven


As people get older, skin begins to form wrinkles and lines, and begins to sag because the elasticity in the skin becomes less strong. When we get older, the collagen that is responsible for keeping skin looking young is diminished. Some treatments take a month or more to take effect, but with dermal fillers, the benefits of treatment are seen right away.

Injectable collagen, injectable facial fillers, hyaluronic acid, injectable cosmetic fillers, tissue fillers, facial fillers, or just injectable fillers, dermal fillers go by numerous titles. There are many things dermal fillers are used for to rejuvenate the face, recessed scars can be made less prominent, to make skin appear fuller, and of course to reduce lines and wrinkles. They are commonly used to plump up the lips and remove deep creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and creases between the eyebrows.

Dermal fillers are a minimally invasive method of turning back the clock and making one's face appear youthful and refreshed. There is a fast recovery period, sometimes none, and they are much cheaper and less risky than a face lift. For treating scars due to acne or accidents, wrinkles and lines that are unattractive, this is a widely used procedure. When plastic surgery seems like too invasive of a procedure, dermal filler injections are the right option to revive your appearance.

The length of time the fillers stay in effect depends on the drug or ingredients used, where it's injected, and the patient's skin type. A lot of choices are out there when it comes to dermal fillers, and the amount of improvement needed, and the places where the correction is desired make up the factors when deciding. Your surgeon will help you select the filler that will best help you reach the look you have in mind. Dermal fillers today are usually one of these 3 types: hyaluronic acid, fat, and collagen. Each of these fillers last about a year, at which point you will need to get re-treated.

Perlane, Radiesse, Juvederm, ZyPlast, Hylaform, Sculptra, Artefill, DermaDeep, and DermaLive are some of the more common brand names of fillers available. With all of the choices, the advice of your physician will help you to decide what is best in your case.

When a patient opts to use a method other than surgery, dermal fillers are the second most common choice, coming just behind injections of Botox. It is not common for there to be any side effects that result with this option. Though uncommon, there are some complications that happen occasionally, like itching, bruising, swelling, infections, rashes, and just people who are not satisfied.

Dermal fillers are quite effective, but when an experienced professional delivers them, the effects are longer lasting and provide more benefit to patients, who require less treatments in the long term. For optimum results, choose a qualified and properly trained doctor for your filler injection.
