Injectable filler (injectable cosmetic filler / injectable
facial filler) is a soft tissue filler injected into the skin to help fill in
facial wrinkles, restoring a smoother appearance. Most of these wrinkle fillers
are temporary because they are eventually absorbed by the body. Some people may
need more than one injection to achieve the wrinkle-smoothing effect. The
effect lasts for about six months or longer. Successful results depend on
health of the skin, skill of the health care provider, type of filler used.
In the US, fillers are approved as medical devices by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the injection is prescribed and
performed by a health care provider. In Europe and the UK, fillers are
non-prescription medical devices that can be injected by anyone licensed to do
so by the respective medical authorities. They require a CE mark, which
regulates adherence to production standards, but does not require any
demonstration of medical efficacy. As a result, there are over 140 injectable
fillers in the UK/European market and only six approved for use in the US. Ree
Age Medical Supervision Team uses FDA approved injectable fillers to its
clients. You are safe and healthy when
you are getting treated at Ree Age.
How Dermal Fillers Work (and How They’re Different
from Botox)
Fillers are made of sugar molecules or composed of hyaluronic
acids] collagens, which may come from pigs, cows, cadavers, or may be generated
in a laboratory, the person's own transplanted fat, and biosynthetic polymers.
Examples of the Latter include calcium hydroxylapatite, polycaprolactone,
polymethyl-methacrylate, and polylactic acid.
Dermal fillers, also known as "injectables" or
"soft-tissue fillers," do just what their name suggests: they fill in
the area under the skin. Some fillers are natural and some are synthetic, but
they all work to improve the appearance of aging skin in the following ways:
·
filling
in wrinkles, fine lines and deep creases
·
improving
other imperfections like scars
·
filling
out thin or wrinkled lips
·
plumping
up cheeks
·
contouring
the jaw line and other areas of the face
Dermal fillers are a
naturally-derived or synthetic material that is directly injected into skin
with the purpose of plumping that area to the point where the wrinkle,
depression, or fold is gone. Depending on the type of filler, the effects can
last anywhere from six months to two years; for semi-permanent or permanent
fillers, the effects can last up to five years, and there are reports of even
longer-lasting results.
Don’t confuse dermal fillers
with Botox. Although both procedures involve injections, Botox is most often
injected around the forehead and wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet) to stop
muscle movement that results in wrinkles. It has nothing to do with the
plumping smoothing effect dermal fillers have; Because they work in different
manners, many people elect to get both Botox and dermal
fillers—the combination can produce a remarkably younger-looking face.
Synthetic and Natural Dermal Fillers
There are two primary groups of dermal fillers: synthetic and
natural.
Naturally-derived fillers (the
most widely known is hyaluronic acid) have a much smaller risk of causing an
allergic reaction but reactions can occur. Results are immediate but will only
last from just three to 18 months (occasionally up to two years) because the
filler eventually breaks down, taking the results, for better or worse, with
it. Once the filler starts to dissipate you need to go back in and get more
filler injected to maintain results. Most people who get fillers will need at
least one follow-up injection within a year.
Aside from allergic reactions,
fillers also have risks of lumping and migration, although this happens
infrequently. On the other hand, because the results last a short period of
time so do the potential problems.
Synthetic fillers last much
longer than naturally-derived ones and are considered semi-permanent though
there many who would call them permanent because they really don’t dissipate.
The wrinkles start to return only because your face continues to age or you
continue to get sun damage due to being lax about protecting skin with
sunscreen daily.
As with all fillers, synthetic
fillers have risks which are pretty much the same as for naturally-derived
fillers except the difference is because synthetic fillers are "permanent"
the potential problems can be "permanent" as well and are harder to
correct.
Risks
Risks of an improperly performed dermal filler procedure
commonly include bruising, redness, pain or itching. Less commonly, there may
be infections or allergic reactions, which may cause scarring and lumps that
may require surgical correction. Delayed skin necrosis can also occur as a
complication of embolization. Embolic
complications are more frequently seen when autologous fat is used as a filler,
followed by hyaluronic acid. Though rare, when vision loss does occur, it is
usually permanent. Ree Age Medical Team
takes care of handling the treatment carefully and none of our clients have
suffered above said complications.
