About Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers
Dermal Filler treatments are generally not painful, although the amount of discomfort may vary depending on the area. Treatments around the lip and nose area are known for being slightly more painful than in other areas.
The severity of the pain felt will often depend on the form of pain control applied to the area of treatment. Though many dermal fillers contain anesthetic, anesthetic cream is often used for treatments involving wrinkles and lines; the cream is applied approximately 20 minutes before the procedure. The purpose of the cream is to help numb the treatment area and help to reduce the pain of the injection.
Recovery:
There is normally no downtime with dermal fillers, most people are able to return to work or to their regular activities immediately after they have received the treatment.
Side effect:
Potential side effects after the treatment may cause slight pain or discomfort; however these side effects should not last for more that 2-3 days. If any side effects persist, it is recommended to consult with a doctor.

In general terms, dermal fillers plump-up the injected area, levelling it with other parts of the skin, which will look firmer, younger and refreshed.
Different dermal fillers achieve these results in different ways, depending on their main active ingredients.
The overall principle of dermal fillers is based on the natural composition of the human skin. With age, the upper layer of the human skin, the epidermis, gradually becomes thinner, offering less protection to the lower layer, the dermis. Also, the aging process considerably reduces the production of collagen, the main component of the dermis, which gives the skin its strength, elasticity and firmness. This results in the appearance of wrinkles, folds and other age-related skin depressions.
Dermal fillers integrate natural collagen, in different ways and varying specificities in relation to different areas of the body.
How Long Will The Effects Of Dermal Fillers Last?
The length of time that the effects and benefits of Dermal Fillers last depends on multiple factors, such as :
- the type of filler used.
- the area of application.
- the age of the patient.
- their lifestyle and the quality of their skin
the effect can last anywhere from six month to two years.
After the initial treatment, follow-up sessions are usually recommended every six to twelve months, depending on the treatment and the patient.

Dermal Fillers are cosmetic injectable treatments used to soften facial wrinkles, lines and fill out hollows to recreate the smooth contours of younger skin.
There are different types of Dermal Fillers, composed by a variety of substances, natural or synthetic. Some Dermal Fillers are made of collagen – the main structural protein of connective tissues in animals – others are synthetically produced in laboratory and derived from hyaluronic acid, a water holding molecule acting as a cushioning and hydrating agent in all mammals.
Cosmetically, Dermal Fillers are used mainly to assist the correction of skin conditions that may appear as a result of aging, including wrinkles, creases and folds.
A Dermal Filler procedure consists in injections in the Dermis layer of the skin for the purpose of increasing soft tissues.
Widely regarded as a safe and effective treatment for a variety of skin conditions, Dermal Fillers are most popular among those who seek a swift, non-surgical solution for aged skin that has lost volume.

Hyaluronic acid – also known as Hyaluronan, Hyaluronate or HA – is a substance that is naturally found in the human body, where it acts as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues. In particular, it’s present in high concentrations in fluids in the eyes and in the joints.
Hyaluronic acid has multiple beneficial functions, such as hydrating the skin, stimulating the production of collagen in skin, acting as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, maintaining skin elasticity and cushioning joints and nerve tissues. It also has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory function and maintains the fluid in the eye tissues.
As other protective agents in the body though, Hyaluronic acid decreases with the aging process.
Hyaluronic acid has several medical applications – for example to treat osteoarthritis. Cosmetically, it is used as a common ingredient in skin-care products and as main active ingredient of injectable treatments for filling soft tissue defects such as facial wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most common type of dermal fillers.

Botox – or Botulinum Toxin – is a neurotoxin produced by the Clostridium Botulinum Bacterium. It inhibits nerve stimulation on muscles and is used cosmetically to reduce or remove facial wrinkles. Botox injections contain a very small dose of Botulinum Toxin and relax the muscles that form the wrinkles. The effect of a Botox injection lasts approximately between 4 to 6 months.
