The desire for beauty and youth is not a new issue. Humans have been responding positively to beauty for years, and this is completely instinctive. If you have wrinkles on your face, the first step towards beauty and rejuvenation is to reduce and eliminate wrinkles. Fortunately, today there is a very simple and common way to reduce and eliminate wrinkles, this miraculous method is filler injection.
Fillers can be injected in different areas of the face such as eyes, nose, lips, around the lips, etc., which are referred to as under-eye fillers, nose fillers, face fillers, lip fillers, etc. Stay with us for more information about filler and its uses.
What is a filler?
If you follow rejuvenation methods, you must have heard the name of facial filler many times. Filler is actually a type of collagen that is made in a laboratory and its injection causes volume and skin rejuvenation. With age, the amount of collagen in the human body decreases and the skin becomes thinner and has wrinkles.
With its volumizing properties, filler removes wrinkles and gives you a beautiful, young and natural look. Filler is also known as Filer among people, and some people use the term facial Filer instead of facial filler injection.
Types of fillers
In terms of function, fillers are divided into two types: stimulating and volumizing, and based on the type of their ingredients, they are divided into the following categories.
- Hyaluronic acid
- Calcium hydroxide
- Polylactic acid
- fat
- Polymethyl methacrylate
Hyaluronic acid filler
Hyaluronic acid is included in the category of volume fillers. This type is the safest type of filler because hyaluronic acid is naturally present in human body tissue; This reason has made it possible for everyone to use it. If you are allergic to bovine collagen, we suggest you inject this type of filler without any worries.
In general, there are very few people who are allergic to hyaluronic acid. The shelf life of these fillers is between 6 and 9 months, and over time, they are absorbed by the body. After injecting this type of filler, a little redness may be observed in the injected area, but it is normal and temporary.
Hyaluronic acid filler applications
- Facial filler to remove forehead lines
- Smile line filler to fix the lines around the corner of the mouth
- Treatment of scars and skin wounds such as acne
- Filler injection around the eyes to remove wrinkles around the eyes
- Filler injection under the eyes to remove dimples and darkness around the eyes
- Angularization of the jaw and face to fix inconsistencies and asymmetry
- Lip Filer injection to increase the volume of the lips and shape them
- Nasal filler injection to fix nasal defects
Calcium hydroxide filler
This type of filler also has the property of giving volume and is mostly used for angularizing the jaw and face, increasing the volume of the cheeks and removing deep skin wrinkles. Calcium hydroxide is naturally present in bones and is known as the heaviest filler among fillers. The results of using this type of filler are very natural and no special side effects have been observed.
After the injection, there may be some redness at the injection site, which is normal and temporary. The shelf life of this type of filler for angulation of the jaw and face is a maximum of one year and for removing wrinkles and folds, it is three years.
Polylactic acid filler
This type of filler is included in the category of stimulating fillers and its injection activates collagen production in the body. In general, the result of injection of stimulating fillers is not clear at the same moment of injection, but after two weeks, the results will be clearly visible. The injection of this type of filler should be done in 3 sessions over a period of one month. The results of collagen formation due to the injection of this type of filler last for approximately 5 years.
Fat filler
In this method, the required fat is supplied from the applicant’s body. This fat is removed from the lower abdomen or other parts and after preparation, it is injected into parts such as cheeks, temples, lips, etc. The results in this method are permanent.
Polymethyl methacrylate filler
This type of filler is permanent and is used to remove laugh lines, frown lines, etc.
The best type of filler
There are many fillers with different brands in the market. It would not be reasonable to claim that a particular type of filler is the best type of filler available in the market. The best filler for each person depends on the budget, experience and recommendation of the doctor and the subtle differences in the skin.
The shelf life of all types of fillers
There are different types of fillers based on shelf life and their shelf life is different. The durability of fillers or gels depends on factors such as the type of gel, brand, skin type, the amount of Filer used, the treatment area and the speed of absorption. Another very important factor in the durability of the filler is the characteristics of each person’s body, it is possible that a filler that lasts for a maximum of 6 months will be absorbed in a person’s body after 4 months. Always remember that initial injections may be absorbed sooner. It is recommended to always use a short-lasting filler for the initial injections, and after seeing the results, inject a long-lasting filler for the next sessions.
Fillers with a lifespan of up to 6 months: Brands such as Beltro, Juviderm and Restylen have a shelf life of up to 6 months.
Fillers with 6 to 12 months shelf life: These types of fillers are generally used in the lip area. Restylen Silk and Juiderm Velbla brands will be included in this group.
Facial fillers with a shelf life of one to two years: Zoiderm Veloma, Sculptra and Radice are among the brands that have a long shelf life. Usually, fillers that are made based on calcium hydroxyapatite are included in this category.
The reason for the difference in filler prices
If you are looking for beauty services, you must have noticed the difference in the prices of fillers. Many factors affect the price of filler, but your priority should be the quality of the filler because your health is more important than anything else. Usually the following three factors are important to determine the price:
