Dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic treatment that is used to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, plump up sagging skin, and restore volume to the face. They are made up of various materials, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid, and are injected into the skin to add volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are a non-invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery, and they can provide immediate results that last for several months or even years. They are safe and effective when administered by a licensed and experienced professional, such as Dr. Nitin Bawa of Sei Bellissima Med Spa.
Many different types of dermal fillers are available, each with unique properties and benefits. Here are some of the most popular types of dermal fillers:
Hyaluronic acid fillers are one of the most popular types of dermal fillers on the market. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found in the body, and it helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, are used to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, as well as add volume to the cheeks and lips.
Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, such as Radiesse, are made up of calcium particles that are suspended in a gel. These fillers are used to fill in deeper wrinkles and fine lines, as well as add volume to the cheeks and chin.
Poly-L-lactic acid fillers, such as Sculptra, are made up of synthetic materials that are designed to stimulate collagen production in the skin. These fillers are used to treat wrinkles and fine lines, as well as add volume to the cheeks and chin.
Polymethyl methacrylate fillers, such as Bellafill, are made up of microspheres that are suspended in a gel. These fillers are used to fill in deeper wrinkles and fine lines, as well as add volume to the cheeks and chin. They are considered to be semi-permanent fillers because the microspheres do not break down over time.
The type of dermal filler that is right for you will depend on your skin goals and the areas of your face that you would like to treat. If you are looking to add volume to your cheeks or lips, hyaluronic acid fillers may be the best choice for you. If you have deeper wrinkles and fine lines, calcium hydroxylapatite or polymethyl methacrylate fillers may be more effective.
Poly-L-lactic acid fillers are a good choice if you are looking to stimulate collagen production in the skin and achieve longer-lasting results. Dr. Nitin Bawa of Sei Bellissima Med Spa can help you determine which type of filler is best for your individual needs!
