Dermal fillers
There are many types of dermal fillers and the most commonly used ones consist of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in our body. Thus, hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that plays an important role in our body - it helps in creating the extracellular space of the skin, maintaining the necessary amount of water in the skin and in healing the skin.
As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases, and thus natural collagen and subcutaneous fat are lost. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the volume and elasticity of the skin, as well as the formation of wrinkles on certain parts of the face, whereby the skin becomes tired and dull. Hyaluronic fillers are there precisely to replace lost natural hyaluronic acid and instantly restore elasticity, shine and youthfulness to facial skin.
What are dermal fillers and what are they for?
In the last 10 years, dermal fillers have become the gold standard when it comes to facial revitalization. They are one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments that are easily available and widely used today.
Hyaluronic dermal fillers are a natural and highly effective treatment for skin rejuvenation and lip filling. They are used to treat all areas of the face to soften rough facial lines and remove wrinkles, while providing hydrated, younger-looking skin. In this way, the elasticity of the skin is restored, and the lost volume and contours of the face are shaped, i.e., the swollen cheeks and corners of the lips are lifted, and the lost chin lines are emphasized. In addition, the use of hyaluronic fillers eliminates dark circles and fills the lips. All this significantly contributes to the revitalization of the face, and it has been shown that fillers also affect the regeneration and creation of new collagen, which improves and prolongs the results of the treatment. Injected hyaluronic acid binds to water and integrates with the surrounding collagen, restoring a youthful appearance to the face.
How are dermal fillers used?
Treatments with dermal fillers can be started as soon as the first more pronounced wrinkles appear.
The procedure of injecting dermal fillers is very simple. They are injected under the skin in the desired area using small, very thin needles. The doctor recommends the type of filler to be applied depending on the desired effect and chooses the injection technique and decides on the depth of penetration into the skin, depending on the type and depth of the wrinkle.
The treatment itself, i.e. the application, lasts only 5-15 minutes. However, the duration of the treatment may vary, depending on the areas being treated and the amount of filler being applied (maximum 60 minutes). The change, i.e. the effect is visible immediately, immediately after the injection.
After the treatment, you will shine - you will feel satisfied and younger, and you can return to your daily activities and obligations immediately after its completion.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic dermal fillers?
The most important thing is that hyaluronic dermal fillers make it possible to achieve and maintain the natural appearance of facial contours, without compromising facial expressions, and the addition of hyaluronic is beneficial to the skin. The face regains its lost volume, the lips look more sensual, and the skin looks youthful.The treatment is painless. A local anesthetic cream is applied to the face before the treatment, and the latest generation of dermal fillers already contain local anesthesia that isolates the pain. In addition, the treatment is so quick and easy that you can practically do it even during a break at work. This is why it is often called 'coffee break rejuvenation'.
Other great advantages of this treatment are the speed of the procedure, safety and immediately visible results immediately after application.
Hyaluronic dermal fillers are biocompatible with our body, which means that they simply biodegrade in a completely safe and natural way. Unlike silicone dermal fillers that were used before, hyaluronic fillers do not stay in the body and are not permanent, but completely disappear from the body when absorbed and are much longer lasting than other collagen fillers. Also, these fillers are not of animal origin, as were previous silicone fillers, so they do not need to be tested for allergies. More precisely, all allergic reactions and possible side effects are very rare.
When are the results visible and how long do they last?
The first results are visible almost immediately after application, but the full, final results will be seen in ten days when the hyaluronic acid is properly distributed in the skin.
The duration of the effect of dermal fillers varies from patient to patient, and depends on the type of filler applied, the treated area, the depth of injection and the injection technique, as well as the tissue stress at the injection site.
The effect of dermal filler lasts 6-12 months on average, and periodic, subsequent injections help to maintain the desired degree of correction. Injected preparations break down naturally over time, so it is advisable to visit for renewal and replenishment every 6-12 months, in order to maintain a youthful appearance and beautiful facial contours for as long as possible. The effect lasts longer if the treatments are repeated regularly.
Who are candidates for dermal fillers?
The treatment with hyaluronic dermal fillers is recommended for all healthy people who have started to see the first more pronounced wrinkles on their face and who want to improve the appearance of their face and restore it to a fresh and youthful appearance. There is no exact age limit, considering that for some people wrinkles can appear much earlier, in their late twenties, and for others much later.
