An overview of dermal fillers

Facial ageing is one of those processes that continue throughout one’s life. It usually begins at early 20s and then progressively advances due to a variety of reasons, both internal and external. The reasons include ageing, stress, pollutions, exposure to sun and other factors which lead to wrinkles, fine lines and other external and visible signs of ageing at some point of time or the other. The simple fact is that these signs are inevitable. You just cannot avoid or prevent them. But what you can do is delay their onset or remove them through certain surgical procedures or non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers and botox. While the surgical procedures provide long term respite from such ageing symptoms, the facial filler treatments provide a quick fix solution to such a problem. This treatment is not only quick but it can also give you a youthful and fresh look back again.

During the course of the ageing process people experience a change in the overall appearance of the face which occurs due to loosening and sagging of the skin. With a combination of gravity and ageing takes its effect, the result is the drooping of the facial skin that includes chin, cheeks, neck and nose. This is what results in fine lines and wrinkles in and around the face.

Dermal fillers contain some really important elements which are found naturally inside the human body. One such element is hyaluronic acid, an element that is responsible for keeping the skin smooth and plumped up for a long period of time. This acid not only keeps the skin smooth and succulent but also lubricates the joints. In addition, it plays a critical role in healing of the wounds as well as a variety of skin related conditions. Dermal fillers have this element. These fillers are injected into the skin in the form of a gel like structure with the help of ultra-fine needles. In some cases, anesthesia might be used before the treatment so that the patient experiences minimal discomfort during the course of the treatment.Collagen is another very important naturally occurring protein that is a part of some facial filler. It keeps the wrinkles away from the skin and is also very much responsible for retaining the strength of the skin for a considerable period of time.
