A Guide to Injectable Dermal Fillers

As we age, the fat, muscles, bones, and skin in our faces begin to thin, often resulting in a sunken or sagging appearance. Dermal fillers are popular for their ability to quickly and easily restore lost volume without downtime. In fact, nearly 2,677,000 dermal filler injections were performed in 2018 alone.

If you've ever been curious about dermal fillers, including their ingredients, uses, and the various brands available, then this article is for you.

Dermal fillers, also called facial fillers, are gel-like substances that are injected under the skin to restore lost volume, improve static lines and wrinkles (visible when the face is at rest), and lift sagging tissue. In addition to rejuvenating the skin, dermal fillers are often used to accentuate certain facial features, such as the cheekbones and jaw; to augment the buttocks and lips; to rejuvenate the hands; and to correct cosmetic nasal deformities (a procedure called nonsurgical rhinoplasty). treatment methods).

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the skin to restore lost volume, improve fine lines and wrinkles, and lift sagging tissue.

On average, dermal fillers stay under the skin for about 6-12 months, depending on their ingredients and how they were formulated. Learn more about the duration of various types of fillers below.

While dermal fillers can all provide volume, lift sagging tissue, and increase collagen, they work and are formulated slightly differently. Additionally, some fillers are composed of naturally occurring substances, while others are synthetic. Below is a list of the most popular dermal fillers by main active ingredient:

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a gel-like substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps keep our skin looking plump, hydrated and youthful. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6-12 months and then blend into the body naturally.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a mineral-like compound found naturally in our bones. Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers are thicker than hyaluronic acid fillers and usually last about 12 months for most patients.

Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a synthetic filler. Instead of sitting under the skin like other fillers, poly-L-lactic acid stimulates your body to produce its own collagen, which means the end result will develop gradually over the course of 4-8 weeks and last for about 2-3 weeks.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a synthetic, biocompatible substance that has been used in reconstructive surgery for decades. When a more permanent facial wrinkle solution is desired, polymethyl methacrylate is recommended as a filler, as the effects can last indefinitely.
