The Science Behind Dermal Filler
Dermal filler can help you fight the signs of ageing. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and becomes drier, thinner, and more fragile.
Skin ageing is an inevitable and natural process caused by a combination of environmental and genetic influences throughout our lifetime.
However in particular there are certain influences that bring damage to the cells, one such type is ultraviolet radiation. The terminology is named photoaging where the form of sunlight accelerates this process. The combination of all factors develops the characteristic visible symptoms of uneven pigmentation, premature skin ageing, wrinkles, and volume depletion.
Wrinkles are observed as fine ridges, folds, lines, and creases. They can be visible during rest (static wrinkles) or animation (dynamic wrinkles). These are visible on the face due to the muscles of facial expression and the degree of sun exposure. The appearance of wrinkles and fine lines can be seen in the early twenties. Proper care needs to be taken or else these will progress into deeper wrinkles resulting in soft tissue volume loss, collagen breakdown, loss of bone in certain areas of the face, and even contraction of the facial muscles.
Facial skin wrinkling becomes more apparent between the third and fifth decades of life. This is the most common age group of patients seeking help with facial rejuvenation such as dermal filler. It is never too early to be proactive when it comes to skin ageing and to start looking after your skin.
The dermal filler and anti-wrinkle injections are the most popular non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures. Fillers in Dubai consist of HA (Hyaluronic Acid), a gel-like complex sugary substance found naturally in the skin. With ageing, it starts to decrease in concentration.
HA has an amazing property to hold on to water in the skin, this boosts the hydration factor and maintains the elasticity, structure, and volume. It is due to its cross-linkage pattern that it provides different physical properties, the time it takes for natural degradation, and the duration of effect to occur in the skin. Other biodegradable fillers available today in the market predominantly work by stimulating collagen and have semi-permanent effects. Below mentioned a few of the benefits of HA dermal fillers.
SAFETY OF DERMAL FILLER –
Perhaps the most important hallmark of HA-based dermal fillers is the safest aesthetic solutions that they come up with. These naturally occurring sugars are clear, non-pyrogenic, colorless, sterile, viscoelastic, stable, and biodegradable at room temperature. Fillers in Dubai are derived from bacteria, hence animal-free polymers that do not initiate an immune response in humans. This is the reason why there is no need for allergy skin testing before injection. HA fillers are easily injected with a blunt tip cannula or through small-gauge needles.
These fillers are premixed with a local an aesthetic to increase the comfort of the injection. To bring in more comfort, topical numbing cream can also be applied to the treatment area. Soon after the treatment, you can get busy in your daily life.
AVAILABILITY AND ADAPTABILITY OF DERMAL FILLER –
These days, HA fillers are the most preferred dermal fillers in aesthetic medicine. They are manufactured in sterile 1mL syringes and available “off the shelf”. Be it on your cheeks, nose, lips, chin, jawline, or elsewhere on the face, numerous types of HA fillers may be used. Due to the unique physical and chemical properties of various HAs there is a need for different filler combinations to achieve the desired effects and that too in various depths of the facial skin. It is essential to note that only an experienced cosmetic practitioner can perform these procedures.
EFFICACY OF DERMAL FILLER –
Fillers in Dubai have brought a revolution in the cosmetic industry and by far turned out to be the best alternative for facial cosmetic surgery, like rhinoplasty, a facelift, or blepharoplasty.
Injectable HA fillers provide a natural look by significantly reducing all common signs of facial ageing and also enhance tissue hydration, thereby rapidly restoring the skin volume. The results are immediately visible. Fine lines and the whole spectrum of folds and moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles can be effectively treated with sagging skin, age-related facial volume loss, and dermal fillers. Furthermore, injectable fillers are used to improve the shape, non-surgical facial contouring, and plumpness of the lips.
REVERSIBILITY AND LONG-LASTING EFFECTS OF DERMAL FILLER –
Reversibility is one of the most valuable features of HA dermal fillers. These products can easily and quickly get dissolved from the desired area of skin, this can be achieved by injecting a specific enzyme known as hyaluronidase if needed. Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, the results of rejuvenation and augmentation with facial fillers are likely to last between 12 – 24 months. Recently researchers have figured out that injection of HA dermal fillers stimulates natural collagen production. This happens long after the filler has been broken down.
