What Types Of Dermal Fillers Are Available?

Dermal fillers are categorized into three types –

• Temporary Fillers – Hyaluronic acid dermal filler comes under this type. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our skin and joints, that is responsible for absorbing and binding water molecules. In the skin, it helps to keep it plump and give it the volume that is needed. When used in dermal filler treatment, hyaluronic acid is degraded slowly in the skin, making its results temporary.
• Semi-permanent Fillers – Dermal fillers made from synthetic substances that are not absorbed by the body provide results that last longer than hyaluronic acid filler treatment.
• Permanent Fillers – Such fillers offer a permanent solution for your wrinkles and for rejuvenating any sunken areas of the face, but they are not approved by the FDA due to safety concerns. Silicone and PTFE based fillers are common examples. The results are too evident and look artificial. 

What Is The Treatment Procedure?

Dermal filler treatments are performed by certified dermatologists at expert skin clinics. Once you have expressed your concern and your expectations to the doctor, he/she will examine your skin and the area to be treated. Based on the observations and the initial consultation, the dermatologist will advise you with the best type of filler that suits your skin’s needs.

Being a short procedure, the treatment can be performed immediately as well. Ideally, the dermatologist may advise you to schedule it at a later date depending on how soon an appointment is available. The procedure is carried out in a sterile and hygienic environment and the injection is administered by the dermatologist. You can go back to complete the rest of your chores for the day because the procedure does not leave any telltale signs or discomfort. Post care advice to ensure the efficacy of the results is given by the dermatologist before you leave the clinic.

What To Expect During The Treatment?

During the treatment, a topical anesthetic may or may not be used to numb the skin in the treatment area. In the case where it is not being used, the type of filler being used is formulated in conjunction with a numbing agent to minimize the discomfort. Once the skin is prepped, a thin syringe is used to inject the dermal filler into the skin. You may feel a slight pinprick like sensation. In just under an hour, the treatment is completed.
