Fillers, also known as injectables or dermal fillers, are substances that are injected into the skin to add volume, fill in wrinkles or lines, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly used in cosmetic procedures to address signs of aging and to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are typically composed of various substances, including hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Each filler type has its own unique properties and indications for use.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the most used type of filler. HA is a natural substance found in the body that helps maintain moisture and volume in the skin. These fillers can be used to add volume to the lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds (lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth), as well as to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers are composed of microscopic particles suspended in a gel. They can be used to fill in deeper wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, and to restore volume in areas like the cheeks. They also stimulate collagen production, providing longer-lasting results.
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers are biocompatible and biodegradable. They work by stimulating collagen production over time, resulting in gradual and natural-looking volume restoration. PLLA fillers are often used to treat larger areas of facial volume loss, such as hollow cheeks and temples.
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a synthetic substance mixed with collagen. It is used in certain fillers to provide long-lasting results by creating a supportive framework in the skin. PMMA fillers are typically used for deep wrinkles and facial sculpting.
The choice of filler depends on factors such as the specific area being treated, the desired outcome, the duration of results, and the individual’s preferences. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist who can assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate filler for you.
Sculptra is a type of injectable filler used in aesthetic medicine. It is made of poly-L-lactic acid, which is a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material that has been used in medical applications for many years. Sculptra is used to add volume to the face and improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.
Unlike other dermal fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, which helps to restore volume and firmness to the skin. It is typically administered in a series of injections over several months, and the results can last up to two years.
Sculptra is often used to treat the mid-face, temples, and cheeks, but can also be used in other areas of the face and body. It is important to note that Sculptra injections should only be administered by a trained and licensed healthcare provider.
