About Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers Popularity

Dermal Fillers Popularity

Harrodsburg, KY

Dermal fillers, sometimes referred to as lip or face fillers, remain one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, and for good reason. They can effectively address a wide range of conditions with the skin, offering instant results whilst being much less invasive than alternatives such as surgical treatments. There are a number of different fillers available, but they all work in primarily the same way. A gel-like substance, which may be natural or synthetic, is injected into the skin by a professional at carefully chosen locations. This substance not only fills out the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and other issues, but in some cases also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production.
History of Dermal Fillers

History of Dermal Fillers

Harrodsburg, KY

The first attempts at using injections to improve facial aesthetics date all the way back to the 1890s, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that actual dermal fillers entered into use. These were originally based on animal collagen, but this came with a number of issues, including the risk of allergic reactions, excessive swelling, and results diminishing too quickly. Thankfully, many improvements have been made since then. Most notably, these include the approval of hyaluronic acid fillers in the early 2000s and the addition of lidocaine to fillers. Hyaluronic acid is already naturally found in the human body and gives much longer-lasting results than the older collagen-based fillers did. The lidocaine acts as a numbing agent and reduced the discomfort that the procedure caused in some patients previously.

Dermal fillers have a range of uses, including reducing wrinkles and other signs of aging, enhancing certain features such as lips, and even reducing the appearance of indented scars. Anyone affected by these issues and feels that they are impacting their confidence or self-esteem may wish to consider using dermal fillers to address the issue. However, you should always discuss your personal situation with a professional to make sure they would be the right decision for you.

Types of Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally found in the human body, with levels declining with age and exposure to certain environmental factors such as air pollution. It bonds with water molecules, meaning that increasing levels of hyaluronic acid also increase water levels in the skin, filling it out and giving it more volume. Hyaluronic acid also increases the body’s production of collagen, a substance that maintains the tightness of the skin, among other things. There are many different use cases and target areas for dermal fillers, and the best option for the type of filler can vary between them.

Cheek Fillers

Cheek fillers, also known as cheek augmentation, provide volume around the cheekbones. This can reverse a loss of volume resulting from aging or other factors such as medical conditions, weight loss, or smoking. The filler is injected through two carefully chosen points on the mid-face, one on each side.

Nasolabial Fillers

The nasolabial folds are the creases running from each side of the nose down toward the mouth. This crease can become more prominent in appearance as a natural part of the aging process and unfortunately due to frequent ‘big’ smiles. A procedure where multiple injections of filler are made along the length of the fold can reduce its prominence.

Lip Fillers

Lip fillers, which are typically hyaluronic acid-based, are injected into the lips to give them greater volume and to correct for any perceived asymmetries. The overall goal of this is to give the lips a more aesthetic appearance in general. The number and location of the injection points can vary, depending on the current shape of your lips and your desired outcome.

Chin Fillers

Chin fillers can be used to give a stronger and more defined jawline, to tighten sagging skin, and to improve overall facial symmetry and proportions. Injections of filler will be given at several locations around the chin and jaw, with the exact locations depending on your facial structure and proportions, and your desired outcome.

Under Eye Fillers

Filler can be injected into the area under the eyes, also known as the tear troughs. This can reduce the appearance of dark circles and surrounding wrinkles, as well as improve the appearance of ‘sunken’ eyes. One or more injections of filler will be given under each eye.

Full Face Fillers

It is possible for fillers to be used on multiple locations in the face simultaneously. This aims to improve the overall aesthetics of the face and address any issues, while also preserving or improving facial symmetry. Given its extensiveness relative to other dermal filler treatments, the number and location of injection sites can vary significantly.

What to Expect with Dermal Fillers in Harrodsburg, KY

The actual procedure should take around 15 to 45 minutes in total, depending on which areas of the face are being treated. You will feel mild pressure from the injections but won’t feel any pain.

Before the Appointment

Before your appointment, you should receive a free consultation, which will allow you to discuss your options with a qualified professional, and make sure that you make the best decision for you. As you approach the date of the actual appointment, it’s important that you keep yourself healthy, both by minimizing your chances of catching a cold or similar illness and by avoiding doing anything which could damage the skin or lead to an infection in the area being treated. On the day, it’s recommended to eat and drink well to avoid any dizziness, but alcohol must be avoided both before and after the treatment.

During the Appointment

Your appointment will begin with the application of a topical anesthetic, which will prepare you for the filler injections. This is then followed by the injections themselves, the number and location of which will vary depending on which type of filler treatment you’re receiving. The injections may lead to some discomfort, but will not be painful, and once they’re done, the treatment provider will massage the area to ensure that the filler spreads evenly.

After the Appointment

As with any procedure, you may experience some side effects after your treatment. Thankfully these side effects such as bruising and itching are usually mild and clear up relatively quickly. In the days after the treatment, you should take care not to rub or scratch at any of the injection sites, or to expose them to extreme heat. The effects of the filler aren’t permanent, but depending on the type of filler used and the area being treated, they can last for between 6 and 18 months.
