Dermal Fillers

The magic of Dermal Fillers One of the major problems every individual faces after the age of 40 - 45 years is the wrinkling of skin, especially that of the facial region. It can be a very depressing factor that drives us towards the numerous beauty products available in the cosmetic market. However, most of these products hardly give the promised results. A relatively recent anti-wrinkling solution is cosmetic surgery. However, cosmetic surgeries can be expensive, painful and can have numerous side effects that even modern cosmetologists are unaware of.

Another efficient method to gain back your youthful beauty is to get a dermal filling done. This is a highly gratifying means of ridding your face of wrinkles, since it gives quick results. Dermal fillers were legalized in the US by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1981. The first approved filler was bovine collagen which is a protein, acting as glue holding our body together. In normal circumstances, lack of collagens would cause muscle pains, brittle hair and creased skin at even young ages.

This synthetic collagen was marketed under the brand name Zyderm and since its popularity began to sprout, several other dermal fillers marketed in numerous other brand names have been produced. Dermal fillers correct fine lines and scars on the face and the results last for three months or more. Once a dermal filling is done, the results show immediately unlike in any other beauty treatment procedure. In fact that is one of the main reasons that many are attracted toward these wrinkle fillers.

As you may know, as the skin ages not only will the cells reduce in numbers, but will also lose its collagens, fibers and hyaluronic acid. These major components are the ones responsible for the maintenance of skin firmness and once lost, will wrinkle the skin and make it more elastic. To reverse these natural and thus unavoidable aging, people use dermal fillers that have proven to give visible results.

The type of the dermal filler one uses can vary according to the nature of the problem. For instance, a person who uses this as a means of eliminating wrinkles would be introduced to a different type of dermal filler than that used by a person who wishes to enhance lips. However, the important factor we all must understand is that no one wrinkle-filler can solve problems in all areas of the face. The secret is to know which filler to use where. This method of using a variety of dermal fillers is called a liquid facelift, but would show must better results than a typical facelift.

The marveling factor about dermal fillers, as mentioned, is that they give almost immediate results. In choosing a dermal filler one must essentially get professional advice and together with the dermatologist, can choose dermal filler that's easy to administer and is efficient. Skin friendly dermal fillers manufactured according to the standards, will not feel or look artificial at all. In fact, dermal fillers are the most natural solution to aging skin.

The cost of a dermal fill depends on how many fillings one gets done, what brand of filler they use and the nature of the treatment. It is however, less expensive than face lifts.
