Dermal fillers are a popular facial rejuvenation treatment that can help restore lost volume, smooth lines and wrinkles, and improve facial contours. More than 1 million men and women annually choose this cost-effective way to look younger without surgery or downtime. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the skin and are designed to create a softer or fuller appearance, or both. The effects of most FDA-approved dermal fillers are temporary because they are made of materials that are eventually broken down and absorbed by the body.
It may be necessary to repeat the injection procedure to maintain the desired effect. Polylactic acid is a synthetic dermal filler that is injected into the face and causes the body's own production of collagen. This type of dermal filler is known as a stimulator and is non-toxic and biodegradable. Dermal fillers are used for aesthetic facial treatments and are based on hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that exists naturally in the body. Facial fillers are substances that are injected into the skin to smooth wrinkles and make them less noticeable. The injection of a facial filler is usually an outpatient procedure that is done with anesthetic medications.
The procedure lasts up to an hour. Dermal fillers work by increasing the supply of hyaluronic acid to the skin, dermal fillers revitalize and add volume to the skin, instantly diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and give a smoother natural look. A qualified dental professional or medical professional will help you determine which facial filler injections will provide optimal results. Hyaluronic acid fillers tend to be the most temporary option and are therefore often recommended for patients using fillers for the first time. Injecting dermal fillers into the face and hands can improve the appearance of facial lines and volume loss caused by age or certain medical conditions.
Polylactic acid is different from other fillers because its results are gradual; volumizing occurs over several months, as it stimulates the body to produce collagen. I have trained many dentists and medical professionals in injectable facial therapies, such as dermal filler and botulinum toxin. The cost of dermal filler treatments varies and depends on the provider performing them, the area being treated, and the type of filler selected.
