What are Facial Fillers?
Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation and can provide immediate results with minimal downtime.
How Do Facial Fillers Work?
Facial fillers are injected into the skin to:
- Restore Volume: Fillers can plump up areas that have lost volume due to aging, such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area.
- Smooth Wrinkles: Fillers can fill in wrinkles and fine lines, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the mouth to the chin).
- Enhance Contours: Fillers can be used to enhance facial features, such as the lips, chin, and jawline.
There are different types of facial fillers, including:
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: These fillers are made of a naturally occurring substance in the skin and are temporary, lasting 6-12 months.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: These fillers are made of a mineral-like compound and are longer-lasting, lasting 12-18 months.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: These fillers stimulate collagen production and provide gradual results that can last up to 2 years.
The procedure is typically performed in the office and takes 15-30 minutes.
