Types of Dermal Fillers

When choosing dermal fillers for your skin, it is important to consider the type of filler and its intended use. Below is a list of joint dermal fillers and their corresponding uses:

Hyaluronic Acid

This natural filler is effective for filling in wrinkles; May increase bone density. It can be used in cheek, brow, and lip injections.

Dermal Fillers for wrinkle treatment:

Hyaluronic acid is a popular choice for wrinkle treatment because it does not require downtime, can be injected immediately under the skin, and is safe for both women and men. It’s permanent when injected below the skin’s surface but can be slightly faded over time due to sweat and other environmental factors.

Dermal Fillers for rejuvenating the face:

Hyaluronic acid can help to restore volume and improve appearance by hydrating the skin. It can provide temporary relief from fine lines and wrinkles, as well as crow’s feet and age spots. As with all injectables, pregnancy, breastfeeding and medications may prevent hyaluronic acid from being effective.

Silk Protein

Silk protein is a natural filler that mimics human collagen, which helps to increase the strength of the skin, making it firmer and helping to improve facial jowls and scars. It can be administered either via a dermal filler or by injection.

What are Temporary Fillers?

Three fillers can be used on the face: microfilters, temporary dermal fillers, and permanent dermal fillers. Here’s a brief overview of each type:

  1. Microfilters are tiny packets of material that are injected under the skin to fill in lines and wrinkles. They can be used on their own or in combination with other treatments like Juvéderm or Restylane.
  2. Temporary dermal fillers are similar to micro fillers but last around six months.
  3. Permanent dermal fillers are made from a more solid substance lasting around 12 years.

Now that you know what types of fillers are available, it’s time to figure out when to use them. When it comes to temporary filler use, there is no one-size-fits-all answer since the amount and severity of filler need varies from person to person. However, some tips for choosing a suitable filler include being honest about your expectations with your doctor, evaluating your photos realistically before treatment, and reading product reviews.

Concerning Permanent Dermal Fillers, the proper timing for usage depends on the patient’s age and genetics.

  2. Ultrasound: Ultrasound Dermal Fillers use high-frequency sound waves to destroy the epidermis (outermost layer of the skin). This allows for deeper penetration of the dermal filler, resulting in less redness after the procedure, quick recovery time (1-2 days), and lower downtime.

Manufacturer’s Recommendations for When To Use Temporary Dermal Fillers In Your Face

A general rule is to use fillers that are less than a year old and have not been used in the same area multiple times. This will help reduce the risk of complications.

If you are nearsighted, wear reading glasses while using fillers. If you need to use facial filler in areas where your eyebrows or eyelashes would be, avoid using semi-permanent fillers near your eyes because they can age prematurely and cause drooping or loss of eyelashes.
