The beauty industry has witnessed a remarkable surge in the popularity of injectable fillers, revolutionizing the landscape of non-invasive cosmetic treatments. These minimally invasive procedures do wonders for rejuvenating the skin without the need for surgical interventions. Also known as dermal fillers, injectables offer a quick and effective solution to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles and enhance facial contours. At PURE Medical Spa, we are pleased to offer a variety of different types of fillers for a refreshed and youthful look, even beyond facial enhancements!
What Are Injectable Fillers?
Injectable fillers work by replenishing lost volume in the skin, which naturally diminishes with age. The most common filler substances are hyaluronic acid and collagen, both of which play crucial roles in maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Each filler type varies in composition and texture, allowing for tailored results based on the individual’s aesthetic goals and the targeted area.
By injecting these fillers into areas like the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds and under the eyes, fine lines and wrinkles can be smoothed, resulting in a plumper, more youthful appearance. Beyond their wrinkle-reducing effects, dermal fillers can also be used to contour the face, enhance lip fullness, and improve the overall texture of the skin.
Types of Injectable Fillers
Injectable fillers come in various types, each designed to address specific cosmetic concerns and achieve different outcomes. Three common types of injectable fillers are hyaluronic acid fillers, collagen stimulators, and poly-L-lactic acid fillers.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are one of the most popular and versatile types of injectable fillers. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, making it ideal for restoring volume and hydration to the skin.
When injected, HA fillers plump up the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The results are immediate and typically last from several months to a year, depending on the specific product used. Additionally, HA fillers can be reversed with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. These fillers are commonly used to treat nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows.
Collagen Stimulators
Collagen stimulators are a different type of injectable filler that works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. One common collagen stimulator is made from poly-L-lactic acid, which encourages the skin to create new collagen fibers over time.
The initial effects of these fillers may not be as dramatic as HA fillers, but the gradual increase in collagen can lead to long-lasting results, sometimes lasting up to two years. Collagen stimulators are typically used to address facial volume loss and deeper wrinkles. They provide a subtle and natural-looking improvement that develops gradually over a few months.
Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers are specifically designed to improve the appearance of facial volume loss caused by aging. When injected, PLLA stimulates the production of collagen, which helps to restore volume and elasticity to the skin. The results are gradual, with multiple treatment sessions usually required for optimal outcomes.
PLLA fillers are particularly useful for individuals seeking a subtle yet long-lasting improvement in facial contours and overall skin texture. The effects of PLLA fillers can last up to two years or more, making them an attractive option for individuals looking for semi-permanent solutions to address facial sagging and hollowness.
