DERMAL FILLER

• WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

Dermal fillers are soft tissue fillers that are injected into the skin. One of the most common type of dermal fillers used is hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers.
Hyalutonic acid is naturally present in our skin. Our levels of hyaluronic acid get depleted as we age and with exposure to UV rays from the sun. Hyaluronic acid is important to skin because hyaluronic acid is needed to maintain the skin's hydration and it forms the supporting structure of the skin. Without hyaluronic acid, our skin will be dehydrated, dull, sagging and wrinkled.
Replenishing the skin and tissues with hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers help to restore lost moisture and collagen levels.
Dermal fillers also have the added advantage of replacing lost volume in the face resulting in a sunken look, erasing wrinkles and lifting sagging skin.

• WHAT ARE THE COMMON TYPES OF DERMAL FILLERS?

Dermal fillers can be differentiated by their material they contain - namely hyaluronic acid or collagen stimulator. Each of them have their specific properties and advantages.

Hyaluronic acid based fillers are the most commonly used fillers in Australia. These fillers typically last for 9-12 months are excellent choices for adding volume to sculpt the face, erase facial lines and wrinkles and enhance skin hydration. Examples of brands of HA fillers are Juvederm, Stylage, Restylane.

Collagen stimulator are mainly (Ellanse) induce collagen formation in the skin and enhances the formation of the scaffold that support the structures of the face and gradually replace volume loss.
