Types of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can help enhance facial features and reduce the signs of aging. Several different types of dermal fillers are available, each with unique characteristics and benefits. Here are some common types:

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body and helps keep the skin hydrated and plump. These fillers add volume to lips, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and restore youthful contours. Hyaluronic acid fillers come in different preparations and generally last between 6 – 12 months.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers

Made from tiny calcium microspheres suspended in a gel-like solution, these fillers stimulate collagen production for long-lasting results. They’re often used for deeper folds and wrinkles around the mouth area, lasting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers

These fillers stimulate collagen production and restore skin volume, texture, and overall complexion. While these fillers are lab made, they are compatible with the body. They’re commonly used for treating deep nasolabial folds. These fillers can last for up to 2 years. 

Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Fillers

Composed of tiny synthetic spheres suspended in bovine collagen gel, these semi-permanent, biocompatible filler options provide long-lasting results but require careful injection technique. PMMA fillers are designed to last indefinitely.

It’s essential to consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon who can recommend the most suitable dermal filler based on your specific needs and desired outcome.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can help enhance facial features and reduce the signs of aging. Several different types of dermal fillers are available, each with unique characteristics and benefits. Here are some common types:

Smooth out wrinkles and fine lines

They can help smooth out facial wrinkles, giving a more youthful appearance. The gel-like substance is injected into areas such as the forehead, cheeks, and around the mouth to add volume to sagging skin. This fills in the creases and smoothes out the surface of the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Enhance facial contours

In addition to reducing wrinkles, dermal fillers can also be used to enhance facial contours. They can create a more sculpted and defined appearance by adding volume to certain areas of the face. This can help improve symmetry in facial features and provide an overall more balanced look.

Immediate results with minimal downtime

One of the most significant benefits of dermal filler treatments is that they provide quick results with minimal recovery.  Unlike surgical procedures that may require extensive recovery periods, dermal filler injections allow patients to resume their daily activities almost immediately after treatment. Additionally, any side effects, such as swelling or bruising, are typically mild and temporary, making it a convenient option for those who want quick enhancements without significant disruptions to their busy schedules.

Target Areas of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are versatile in their application and can be used to address various cosmetic concerns. Here are some common target areas where dermal fillers can make a noticeable difference:

Marionette Lines

These vertical lines form below the corners of your mouth, giving it a downturned or sad look. By injecting dermal fillers into this area, Dr. Spalla at Philadelphia Facial Plastic Surgery & Medspa can minimize these lines, which helps to take away the downturned appearance of your smile.

Nasolabial Folds

These lines run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. Fillers can help soften and smooth these folds, creating a youthful appearance.

Lips

If you desire fuller lips or want to add definition to them, dermal fillers offer an effective solution. Dr. Spalla carefully injects small filler into strategic points on your lips for balanced enhancement. His goal is a natural appearance with more fullness and a hydrated appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideal candidates for dermal fillers are individuals who want to diminish signs of aging or enhance certain facial features without undergoing surgery. They should be in good health overall and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the treatment.
Common risks and side effects associated with dermal filler treatments include bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. These usually subside within a few days but can be managed with ice packs or over-the-counter pain relievers. Rare complications may include infection, allergic reactions, or vascular occlusion; however, these are highly uncommon when performed by a qualified professional.
That’s one of the perks of dermal fillers – there’s very little downtime when receiving dermal filler treatment. You should avoid strenuous activities, saunas, and hot environments for at least 24 hours. You should also refrain from massaging or rubbing the areas unless directed otherwise by Dr. Spalla.
