About
Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are cosmetic treatments used to add volume, alter the contours of the face and fill in wrinkles. These minimally invasive procedures are designed to rejuvenate and enhance facial features, providing a more youthful and rested appearance. By targeting areas such as the cheeks, lips and under eyes, facial fillers can significantly improve facial balance and aesthetics.
Types of Facial Fillers
1. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers:
- Characteristics: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and adds volume. HA fillers are soft, gel-like, and can be dissolved with an enzyme if needed. They are commonly used to treat wrinkles, fine lines and for lip augmentation.
- Duration: Typically lasts 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific product and area treated.
2. Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers:
- Characteristics: CaHA is a mineral-like compound naturally found in human bones. In filler form, it's typically thicker than HA and used to correct deeper wrinkles and skin folds, enhance fullness of the cheeks, and improve facial contours.
- Duration: Results can last up to 12 months or longer.
3. Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers:
- Characteristics: Poly-L-lactic acid is a biodegradable synthetic substance. Unlike other fillers, it doesn’t provide immediate results; instead, it stimulates the body’s own collagen production over time. It is used for deeper facial wrinkles and volume loss.
- Duration: Effects can last more than two years.
4. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Fillers:
- Characteristics: PMMA is a synthetic, biocompatible substance used as a semi-permanent filler. It is used to treat medium-to-deep wrinkles, folds and furrows, particularly nasolabial folds and to fill out pitted acne scars.
- Duration: Can be permanent, making it essential to have this filler injected by an experienced practitioner like Dr Amit Bhalotia.
Each type of filler has its own set of benefits and is chosen based on the patient's specific needs, desired outcomes, and the area of the face being treated.
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may be an ideal candidate for facial fillers if you:
- Notice fine lines, wrinkles, or hollow areas on your face.
- Desire more volume in areas such as the cheeks or lips.
- Seek a non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation.
- Are in good health with realistic expectations about the outcomes.
The Procedure:
Facial filler treatments typically follow these steps:
- Consultation: Discussing your aesthetic goals and choosing the right type of filler.
- Preparation: Cleaning and marking the targeted areas.
- Injection: Administering the filler using fine needles or cannulas.
- Massage: Gently massaging the area to distribute the filler evenly.
- Observation: Checking for any immediate reactions following the injections.
- Follow-up: Scheduling a return visit to assess the results or add more filler if needed.
Recovery
Recovery from facial filler injections is quick & pain free allowing most patients to return to their daily activities immediately. You may experience slight swelling, redness or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days.
Results
The results of facial fillers are immediate, with the full effect visible within a week. The duration of the effects depends on the type of filler used and the area treated.
