Injectable fillers are used to fill deep grooves and wrinkles, and to reshape the face and create fuller lips.
Injectable fillers are becoming increasingly popular today due to advancements in the medical field. These advancements have made fillers safe, with minimal side effects, and very similar to natural substances. In the past, fillers were commonly used to fill deep grooves and add volume, such as under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, and chin augmentation, or any deep grooves on the face to make us look younger. This is because as we age, we lose some fat pads on our face or the structure of the skin layer changes. Injectable fillers can correct these deficiencies by restoring lost volume.
What is Filler
Filler, or Hyaluronic acid, is a substance synthesized to mimic the natural substance found in the skin’s layers. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant found in the skin and various connective tissues of the body. When we are young, we have a lot of hyaluronic acid under the skin, but as we age, hyaluronic acid decreases as well, causing our skin to lose moisture, dry out with age, and develop wrinkles and deep grooves.
The Relationship Between Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, and Elastin: Indicators of Skin Age
Collagen and elastin are familiar terms that everyone has likely heard of through advertisements for various products, whether ingestible or skincare. These products often promote increased collagen production, as abundant collagen contributes to bouncy, radiant, and youthful skin. But how can we maintain collagen levels over time? Interestingly, skin composition involves more than just collagen. Preserving youthful skin relies on essential components beneath the skin’s surface, including collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Collagen is a type of protein found in the dermis. Collagen is like the main structure of the skin, making the skin smooth and firm. Collagen is abundant in childhood and decreases in production as we grow into adulthood or adolescence.
As for elastin, it functions like a spring, a protein fiber that binds together like a coil, giving the skin elasticity. As we age, elastin fibers deteriorate and lose their elasticity. The final component is hyaluronic acid, which acts as a water reservoir, keeping the skin plump, hydrated, and preventing dryness.
The most common areas for filler injections are:
under-eye filler
The eyes are the windows to the soul” is a common metaphor that highlights the importance of the eyes. When we talk or express our feelings, it is often reflected in our eyes. The skin around the eyes is more delicate than other areas of the face. Frequent movement can easily lead to wrinkles, and late nights can cause dark circles. Moreover, as we age, the fat beneath the skin around the eyes may thin out faster than in other areas. Therefore, signs of aging are often noticeable around the eyes. In addition to Botox injections or using Botulinum toxin to reduce wrinkles around the eyes, filling in under-eye hollows can also help us look younger.
lip filler injection
Full, plump, Western-style lips are a hot trend right now. Lip filler injections can help add volume for a fuller look, which is the main goal. Lip fillers can also reduce deep lines on the lips, making them look fuller, plumper, and more hydrated. Fillers are also popular for shaping the lips and correcting thin lips on both the upper and lower lip. Currently, there are many popular lip shapes, mostly inspired by celebrities and Hollywood stars.
Nasolabial fold filler injection
Nasolabial folds, often a noticeable sign of aging, deepen as we get older. This is due to a significant loss of collagen beneath the skin’s surface, coupled with the constant pull of gravity, causing the cheeks to sag. This sagging creates deep lines beside the nose and corners of the mouth. In severe cases, these lines can extend down to the area below the corners of the mouth, known as marionette lines, commonly seen in older adults. However, dermal fillers injected into the nasolabial fold area can effectively plump up the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Other filler injection areas
In addition to addressing wrinkles and deep lines, fillers can also enhance or adjust the dimensions of the face for a more beautiful appearance. This includes chin augmentation to refine the face shape, filling in hollow cheeks or temples, or using filler techniques for a facial lift. Fillers can also be used to create a defined jawline or contour the jaw area. Furthermore, fillers can address skin issues in other areas, such as reducing wrinkles on the hands and rejuvenating aging hands. Currently, there is a growing range of filler products available to address various skin concerns.
How long do filler injections or dermal fillers last
Currently, there are many brands of fillers or dermal fillers available. Each brand offers various models of fillers, each designed for specific purposes such as volumizing, chin augmentation, filling nasolabial folds, or correcting fine wrinkles. These models differ in their molecular size. Larger molecules tend to last longer, while smaller molecules may adapt more easily and are easier to mold. Very small molecules are used for superficial injections to hydrate the upper layers of the skin only. Most fillers currently available last approximately 8-18 months, depending on the type, brand, and intended use, and are naturally absorbed by the body. However, some may last shorter or longer depending on the individual’s specific needs.
How much does a filler injection cost
he price of filler injections typically starts at 1 cc. If you have minor concerns, a smaller amount of filler may be sufficient. However, for more pronounced issues, multiple cc’s can be used. The cost of fillers varies depending on the specific product, brand, and type. It’s best to consult with a doctor to determine the appropriate amount of filler for your needs and to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your concerns most effectively.
