Understanding the Different Types of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical solution for enhancing facial features, restoring volume, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Understanding the different types of dermal fillers can help you make an informed decision about which option is best suited for your needs.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers are among the most commonly used dermal fillers. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain moisture and elasticity. HA fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are known for their ability to add volume and smooth out wrinkles. They are versatile and can be used for various areas, including lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows. Results typically last from six months to a year, depending on the specific product and treatment area.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers like Radiesse provide a more robust solution for deeper wrinkles and facial contouring. CaHA is a mineral-like compound naturally found in bones, making these fillers biocompatible. They offer longer-lasting results, often up to a year or more, and stimulate collagen production for added benefits.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Fillers, such as Sculptra, work differently from other fillers. Rather than providing immediate volume, PLLA stimulates the body’s collagen production over time, gradually improving skin thickness and elasticity. Results can last up to two years, making PLLA fillers ideal for those seeking long-term improvements.
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Fillers are semi-permanent solutions, with brands like Bellafill offering extended results. PMMA fillers consist of tiny microspheres suspended in a collagen gel, providing immediate volume and a lasting structural framework for continued improvement over time. These fillers are often used for deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and acne scars.
Choosing the right dermal filler depends on your specific aesthetic goals, skin type, and desired duration of results. The professional and highly skilled team from the Medical Aesthetic Center is here to help with your beauty needs, offering expert advice and personalized treatment plans.
