Dermal fillers are effectively soft tissue fillers, injected into face, lips, or body to (1) fill out wrinkles and thereby restore a smoother and more youthful appearance (2) contour and shape – i.e. jawline defining, injectable body contouring – or (3) to add volume (i.e. lip augmentation)
PROCEDURE BENEFITS
Pros of Injectable Dermal Fillers
One major benefit of fillers is the lack of waiting time for visible results. Witness immediate post-procedure benefits without a prolonged waiting period for swelling or bruising to subside.
Many patients appreciate the impressively long-lasting results achieved with fillers. While longevity of results vary by filler and treatment, in some cases, results can last up to several years.
Third, many patients express a preference for dermal fillers over alternative injectables like Botox® due to the a perception that more natural, nuanced, and subtle results can be achieved with fillers — thus avoiding "looking like they've had work done".
Types of Injectable Dermal Fillers
Naturally, results vary according to type of dermal filler used — each type best-suited to its own procedural niche. There is a range of FDA-approved dermal fillers and injectables on the market. The most common include:
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid – PLAA (most commonly Sculptra® Aesthetic)
- Neurotoxins (most commonly Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®)
- Sodium Hyaluronate (most commonly Restylane® Refyne/Defyne)
- Hyaluronic Acid (often w/ lidocaine, an anesthetic for comfort)
- Polymethylmethacrylate Beads, Collagen, & Lidocaine (i.e Bellafill®)
