HYALURONIC FILLERS Filling wrinkles or recessed scars

Hyaluronic acid fillers

 

Humankind has been fighting the ageing process and face wrinkles for a very long time. Various surgical and dermatological methods are employed for their elimination.

In recent years the use of the so-called "fillers" or "dermal implants" has become more and more popular. These are products that are injected in the skin or under the skin and help fill in wrinkles.

The other function of the fillers is lip augmentation or filling recessed scars on the face. Fillers have a short history. They were first used in 1977.

There are two types of fillers in the world practice:

1. Biodegradable - they vanish in a period of six months to a year

2. Non-biodegradable - they stay forever, or at least for a longer period

Their effect, area of injection in the skin or under it, the injected quantity and the evolution of the product, as well as the side (undesired) effects, vary to a great extent, according to the product.

The non-biodegradable fillers include products from the group of the silicone gel and bovine collagen, which have been prohibited in Europe since 1998.

Other non-biodegradable products are based on polymethylate, acrylic hydrogel, and polyacrylamide gel. These products, however, often lead to side-effect inflammations - the so-called granulomas - after injection, for which reason many doctors no longer use them.

Biodegradable products are becoming more and more popular in the world practice due to their harmlessness and easier dosing and use.

The most frequently used products, especially in Europe, are based on hyaluronic acid - a product, which is naturally contained in the human body; therefore, the undesired effects after injection are reduced to a minimum.

There are two types of hyaluronic acid:

1. Hyaluronic acid extracted from animals - from rooster combs

2. Non-animal - through biosynthesis

The main function of the hyaluronic acid is to absorb and retain water. It can absorb up to 1 000 times more than its own weight, thanks to which your skin gets hydrated and its density and volume are increased. Skin-ageing, exposure to the effects of a number of polluters from the environment, as well as the impact of the ultraviolet rays, gradually lead to the decreased capacity of your cells to produce this important substance - the hyaluronic acid. The restoration of the lost volume, the softening of the facial features, the smoothing out of lines and wrinkles can be totally successful by a non-surgical method - through these dermal fillers.

The hyaluronic acid in the most popular fillers (Restylane, Surgiderm, and Stylage) is of non-animal origin. This means that there is no risk of disease transfer or allergic reactions, if you are sensitive to certain foods such as chicken meet or eggs.

Here are some more things you have to know about the fillers:

• This is an easy procedure which takes about 30 minutes

• It is applied directly to the targeted area

• It has an immediate and impressive effect

• It requires minimum recovery period

• It has a long-lasting, but not permanent, effect

• It is a natural and safe procedure, with very low risk of unwanted reactions

• It is flexible enough so as to cover a large area of your beauty requirements

The procedures with dermal implants correspond to the busy life of contemporary people - they require minimum recovery period and give results that are immediately visible.
