Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to restore volume and enhance facial features. Fillers are made up of a gel-like substance that is injected beneath the skin to smooth out wrinkles, add volume to hollow areas, and enhance facial contours. There are many different types of dermal fillers available, each with its unique properties and benefits.

Some of the most common types of dermal fillers include hyaluronic acid fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, and poly-L-lactic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are made from a substance naturally found in the body and are used to add volume to areas such as the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, such as Radiesse, are used to stimulate collagen production and can be used to add volume to the cheeks, chin, and temples. Poly-L-lactic acid fillers, such as Sculptra, are used to stimulate collagen production and provide gradual results over time.

The dermal filler injection process is generally quick and minimally invasive. Before the treatment, the provider will clean and numb the treatment area. They will then use a fine needle to inject the filler into specific areas of the face. Most patients report feeling only mild discomfort during the injection process.

After the treatment, patients may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. However, these side effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days. The results of dermal fillers are usually visible immediately and can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated.

Dermal fillers are a safe and effective way to enhance facial features and achieve a more youthful appearance. However, it's important to choose a qualified provider and discuss any potential risks and side effects before undergoing treatment.

How common are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers have become increasingly popular in recent years, and are now one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures worldwide. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2020, there were over 3.7 million dermal filler procedures performed in the United States alone.

Dermal fillers are also popular in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe and Asia. In fact, some countries, such as South Korea, have a particularly high rate of dermal filler use.

What dermal fillers can do

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to add volume, contour and smooth out the skin. They are commonly used in cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, folds, and depressions, as well as to restore volume and plumpness to areas that have lost their fullness due to aging, weight loss or other factors. Some of the things that dermal fillers can do include:

Smooth out wrinkles and lines: Dermal fillers can be used to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, such as smile lines, marionette lines, and forehead lines.
Restore volume to the cheeks: As we age, our cheeks can lose volume and sag. Dermal fillers can restore volume to the cheeks, creating a more youthful appearance.
Plump up the lips: Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the size and shape of the lips, creating a more defined and attractive lip line.
Fill in acne scars: Dermal fillers can be used to fill in acne scars and other facial depressions, creating a smoother appearance.
Contour the jawline and chin: Dermal fillers can be used to create a more defined jawline and chin, improving the overall appearance of the face.

What are the types of dermal fillers?

Hyaluronic acid fillers: These are the most popular type of dermal fillers and are made from a substance called hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and lines, and enhance facial features. They are temporary and typically last from six to eighteen months.

Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers: These fillers are made from tiny particles of calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance that is found naturally in bones. They are used to add volume and stimulate collagen production in the skin, providing a longer-lasting result than hyaluronic acid fillers. Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers can last up to a year or more.

Poly-L-lactic acid fillers: These fillers are made from a biodegradable substance called poly-L-lactic acid and are used to stimulate collagen production in the skin. They are typically used to add volume and improve the appearance of deep facial wrinkles and folds. Poly-L-lactic acid fillers can last up to two years.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fillers: These fillers are made from tiny particles of PMMA, a synthetic material that is non-biodegradable. They are used to add volume and fill in deep wrinkles and folds. PMMA fillers provide a permanent result, although they carry a higher risk of complications and are less commonly used than other types of fillers.

What are the risks or complications of dermal fillers?

 

  1. Allergic reactions: Although rare, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to the ingredients in the dermal filler. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include redness, swelling, itching, and difficulty breathing.

  2. Infection: There is a risk of infection anytime the skin is punctured. While rare, an infection can occur following a dermal filler injection, which can cause redness, swelling, pain, and fever.

  3. Bruising and swelling: It is common to experience some bruising and swelling after a dermal filler injection. While this usually subsides within a few days, some individuals may experience more prolonged swelling.

  4. Lumps or bumps: In some cases, dermal fillers can cause small lumps or bumps to form under the skin. These can usually be massaged out, but in rare cases, they may require additional treatment.

    What is the recovery time after getting dermal fillers?

    The recovery time after getting dermal fillers can vary depending on the specific treatment, the amount of filler injected, and the individual's healing process. However, in general, most people can expect to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure with only a few restrictions.

    Common side effects after receiving dermal fillers include mild swelling, redness, and bruising around the injection site. These side effects usually subside within a few days, and many people are able to cover them up with makeup.

    It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun or heat exposure for 24 hours after the treatment to minimize the risk of swelling or bruising. Additionally, some specific types of fillers may require additional precautions or follow-up appointments.

    How Long Do the Results Last?

    The duration of the results from dermal fillers can vary depending on several factors such as the type of filler used, the amount of filler injected, the individual's metabolism, and the area of the face or body where the filler was injected.

    Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers, which are the most commonly used type of dermal filler, can last from six to eighteen months. However, some fillers, such as those containing calcium hydroxylapatite, can last up to two years or more.

    The longevity of the results also depends on how well the individual takes care of their skin and follows the post-treatment instructions provided by their healthcare provider. Avoiding sun exposure, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and following a proper skincare routine can help prolong the effects of the dermal filler treatment.

    It's important to keep in mind that dermal fillers are not permanent, and the results will eventually fade over time. Therefore, individuals who want to maintain the desired results will need to schedule regular follow-up appointments with their healthcare provider for touch-ups or additional injections.
