Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a form of treatment that is particularly effective for improving facial irregularities. The most commonly used fillers are based on hyaluronic acid – which is produced naturally by the body, and is found in particular in the skin.
Injectable fillers can reduce or eliminate wrinkles and scars, create fuller lips, and treat lipoatrophy, or fat loss beneath the skin. Injectable fillers offer a safe, and effective method of giving your skin a more youthful appearance.
At ECM Aesthetics, in addition to using dermal fillers to help deal with deep lines and wrinkles, we can use them for other aesthetic concerns: thin lips, sunken cheeks, weak chins, as well as hydrating damaged skin.
What are dermal or facial fillers?
Injectable fillers are one of the most popular facial rejuvenation techniques. As we age, the underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and firm begin to break down due to the effects of gravity, sun exposure, diet, genetic factors, and years of facial muscle movement. Over time these factors contribute to the development of lines, wrinkles, and folds in the face. The treatment is virtually painless and results are visible almost immediately, lasting between six to twelve months.
The basics of hyaluronic acid fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring complex sugar molecule that forms large matrices in the connective tissue of the body, such as skin and cartilage. Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water molecules, which creates volume in the face. Hyaluronic acid fillers are generally used to treat facial wrinkles and folds and to enhance the appearance of the lips. Hyaluronic acid fillers work by replacing the hyaluronic acid in the body that has depleted over time, therefore restoring the volume beneath the skin’s surface.
Types of hyaluronic acid fillers
While there are a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, some of the most common are Restylane®, Juvederm® and Revanesse®. Hyaluronic acid fillers are generally biocompatible, which means allergy skin testing is not required prior to treatment.
