Fillers: what is it?
A filler, or dermal filler, is a material that is injected under the skin using special injections. These drugs are used in plastic surgery and are very popular. The method is called contour plastics.
The purpose of using these products is to smooth wrinkles, improve the texture of the skin, simulate the shape of the lips, eliminate circles and bags under the eyes. To adjust the contour of the face, fillers are introduced into the cheekbones. Also, a similar procedure makes the skin more elastic. This method is not very traumatic, which is a significant plus.
What is a filler and what are the types of this tool?
To date, there are many varieties of fillers. However, they all must be biologically compatible with the skin. Also, the drug must not cause inflammatory and allergic reactions and not lead to infection by infections. There should be no side effects. In some cases, minor short-term inconveniences are allowed. It is important that the product does not lead to the appearance of nodules under the skin. The filler is required to remain strictly in the injection zone. The effect should be long-term, but it is important that the drug is 100% split in the body. An indicator of a good filler is the short duration of the procedure and a short rehabilitation period. After using the product, a natural look should be created.
What is a permanent and temporary filler?
Permanent fillers are synthetic substances that do not break down in the body. The idea of a permanent effect is tempting, so customers are very interested in this procedure. However, now such substances are not used primarily because of the high risk of inflammatory processes. Often, such fillers do not take root, resulting in scarring and granulomas. In some cases, this manifests itself several months or years after the procedure. Moreover, the substance is extremely difficult to remove (in most cases impossible), even if the client wants it.
Therefore, temporary fillers are much safer and more effective. Of course, the procedure needs to be repeated, but you will be sure of its reliability. The most commonly used are collagen, hyaluronic and polylactic acids, the client’s own adipose tissue and calcium hydroaxipatite. Each of the substances has its own splitting rate, and hence the frequency of repeating the procedure.
What is a hyaluronic acid filler?
This acid is present in the skin and is an important component of it. Its structure is the same for all living creatures, which means that allergy tests are not required. For use as a filler, the substance is stabilized.
Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers
The cosmetic effect lasts about 1-2 years. The substance does not cause inflammatory or antigenic reactions. This allows you to use it very widely, including to adjust the shape of the nose without surgery. The substance is absolutely safe.
