Age on your Terms

By Alistair Leaven


When ageing sets in, the skin loses its natural elasticity, making it prone to lines and wrinkles and sagging. When we get older, the collagen that is responsible for keeping skin looking young is diminished. Some treatments take a month or more to take effect, but with dermal fillers, the benefits of treatment are seen right away.

There are all kinds of terms for dermal fillers, including injectable facial fillers, facial fillers, tissue fillers, cosmetic fillers, injectable cosmetic fillers, injectable hyaluronic acid, or injectable collagen. These are compounds that are injected into the skin of a patient to smooth out wrinkles and lines, for rejuvenation of the face, to enhance the skin or make recessed scars less noticeable, dermal fillers do a lot. There are very pronounced lines that appear between eyebrows or between the corner of the mouth and nose, fillers are used to help these issues, and to make the lips appear more full, primarily.

This method can actually make it seem as if you have the face of your youth, looking younger using this slightly invasive process. Unlike a face lift, fillers are less costly, have minimal risks and have little or no downtime involved. Whether for lines and wrinkles, or to make acne or accidental scarring less prominent, many people are choosing dermal fillers. For those who want to appear more youthful, dermal fillers are a good alternative to more invasive plastic surgery options.

The length of time the fillers stay in effect depends on the drug or ingredients used, where it's injected, and the patient's skin type. A lot of choices are out there when it comes to dermal fillers, and the amount of improvement needed, and the places where the correction is desired make up the factors when deciding. The filler that is the most suited for your face will be suggested by your doctor and any questions will be answered. The three most popular types of dermal fillers are fat, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. Typically, the duration of these filler injections need to be re-done in about a year, to keep the effects ongoing.

Perlane, Radiesse, Juvederm, ZyPlast, Hylaform, Sculptra, Artefill, DermaDeep, and DermaLive are some of the more common brand names of fillers available. Your doctor can explain which type and brand of dermal fillers would be most appropriate for you.

When a patient opts to use a method other than surgery, dermal fillers are the second most common choice, coming just behind injections of Botox. There are very few complications associated with the procedure. The risks that do exist include infection, bruising, swelling, itching, migration of the filler, rash, or dissatisfaction with the results.

When done with expert precision, these dermal filler effects can be more noticeable and long lasting, so that the patient doesn't need to go back often to maintain the enhancements. Doing some research is sensible, this will ensure that your dermal fillers are administered by the most qualified and experienced doctor.
