Dermal Fillers are injected into the skin to plump it up, making it look firmer while smoothing out lines and wrinkles. As you get older, skin naturally sags and wrinkles, as underlying collagen and fat loosens.
There are different types of Dermal Fillers, such as Restylane which is based on hyaluronic acid, a natural substance used widely in medicine and other ani-ageing products. Collagen is another type of filler that is produced from cow hide - also called bovine collagen. Fillers are often used to fill out thin lips, as well as reducing crows feet, wrinkles around the lips, nose, mouth and lines on the cheeks and forehead. They also plump out hollow cheeks and can reshape the chin or nose tip. Additionally, some teenagers use dermal fillers to fill out previous acne scars, making them feel more confident in their own skin. Before a patient has dermal filler treatment, their face is sometimes numbed with a local anaesthetic cream or injection. Fillers are applied under the skin with a series of small injections. Injections close to the lip or nose are more likely to be painful but perfectly endurable. Treatment takes up to one hour, and many people go straight back to normal daily life afterwards, although if a large area is treated it can take a few hours or maybe a day or two to recover. There may be slight bleeding where the needle was inserted, plus mild bruising or redness which will disappear in a few days. It is advised to repeat treatments every six to nine months to maintain the appearance. The results are visible immediately, with the full effect showing once any swelling and bruising has subsided. Dermal fillers can be given by doctors, nurses and dermatologists. Although fillers are non-prescription preparations, manufacturers recommend that they should be used only by medical professionals. As with any cosmetic treatment, you should consult a qualified practitioner before deciding to go ahead. A minimum amount of people are allergic to bovine collagen, so a skin test is always given to patients being treated with collagen-based fillers. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |
