Dermal filler injectables are one of the most popular non-surgical facial anti-wrinkle treatments in the US, second only to Botox. If you are considering getting them, you should be aware of the different types of fillers available today that can instantly volumize the loose or sagging areas of your facial skin to help erase wrinkles, folds, and fine lines. Depending on your skin condition and your cosmetic goals, your dermatologist will help you select the right types of fillers to treat volume loss or aging lines in the face.
The Juvéderm family of dermal fillers includes Juvéderm Ultra, Juvéderm Voluma, and Juvéderm Volbella, which all contain hyaluronic acid as the key active ingredient. Juvéderm Ultra will fill out moderate to deep wrinkles and folds, including prominent laugh lines. Juvéderm Volbella works well to reduce fine lines around the eyes and forehead as well as for lip augmentation. Juvéderm Voluma is specially designed to restore cheek volume and improve your mid-face contours.
Juvederm Vollure®
Juvederm Vollure is a facial filler currently available to reduce the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows and around the eyes. Juvederm Vollure can also be used for lip augmentation and to fill other areas such as tear troughs, marionette lines, and lip lines. Juvederm Vollure contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that works as a cushioning and lubricating agent to keep skin hydrated.
Juvederm Ultra Plus®
Juvederm Ultra Plus is a smooth, injectable gel that is used to add volume and fullness to the facial area. Juvederm Ultra Plus is a longer lasting dermal filler and has been shown to last for up to one year. It can be used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as "smile lines" (nasolabial folds) and atrophic scars. It is also used to soften the appearance of deeper lines like marionette lines (vertical lip lines that extend downward from the corners of your mouth) and for cheek or lip augmentation.
Restylane is one of the oldest and most popular facial filler injections. Different types of fillers in the Restylane group are designed to reduce conspicuous wrinkles and creases in the face, as well as treat sensitive skin sites, such as under the eyes and around the lips. Just like Juvederm, the key ingredient in Restylane is also hyaluronic acid, which makes it a fully biocompatible treatment. Restylane not only fills out lines and depressions in the face, but also makes your skin more supple because of its natural moisturizing and lubricating properties.
Radiesse is among the more powerful types of fillers, which is more ideally suited for treating deeper wrinkles, including nasolabial folds, smile lines and marionette lines. Radiesse filler gel is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, which makes it more sustainable. Results with Radiesse can last for up to two years. The treatment works in two ways: first it instantly volumizes the skin, and then over time, it will trigger the formation of new collagen fibers to support sagging skin from within.
If you are looking for a non-surgical way to achieve a subtle facial lift while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, your dermatologist may recommend Bellafill cosmetic filler treatment. Bellafill gel contains polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres, which will add volume to your facial skin and help in the transportation of new collagen fibers to the sub-dermal layers. Laugh lines can be improved most effectively with these types of fillers.
Sculptra Aesthetic ranks among the most powerful types of fillers available today for facial volumizing with long-lasting results. If you have experienced loss of facial volume or thinning skin due to aging effects or facial tissue atrophy because of illness, you can benefit from Sculptra Aesthetic dermal filler treatment. From deep nasolabial folds to moderate facial wrinkles and creases on the forehead, it all can be reduced with Sculptra. The active ingredient in this filler gel is PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid), which is a proven collagen stimulation compound.
