Dermal Fillers: What They Are, Types, Benefits & Side Effects

People love to look beautiful, and they do everything for that. Women, in particular, use cosmetics and skincare products and maintain a healthy diet to enhance their beauty. Some things are in our control, and some are not. Those that we can control come at a cost. Dermal fillers are among those methods that can change anyone's appearance. The entire show business industry depends on cosmetics and dermal fillers. Even after a prime age, celebrities can look beautiful and young with the help of such methods. Some questions might arise in your mind about these fillers, and you will get answers below. 

How Long Do Fillers Last in Face, and What are the Benefits?

It depends on the type of fillers you are about to have injected. Some last up to six months, and some reach twelve months. However, some have better results with longer periods, like two years. Any filler that lasts more than that is a permanent filler, which gives longevity up to five years. Another thing is the human body's chemicals and behavior because not everyone can have the same results and longevity.  

They are common for,

✔ Reducing/removing fine lines, wrinkles, forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. 

✔ Hiding chin crease, facial scars, and vertical lip lines.

✔ Enhancing facial symmetry. 

✔ Highlighting the jawline

✔ Tightening the saggy skin

✔ Adding collagen to the face.

Five Temporary and Permanent Dermal Fillers 

People who want natural looks ask their cosmetologists to try natural face fillers on their skin. It is because no one wants to make their faces appear artificial through extraordinary treatment. Even celebrities strive to look beautiful through natural methods along with dermal fillers that provide a natural appearance. So, here are some temporary and permanent fillers people have injected as per the requirements. 

Hyaluronic Acid

The most basic and also very common is HA. Professionals like celebrities, models, and social media influencers have HA injected in their faces for rejuvenation. It is a temporary filler that disappears wrinkles to give a natural look. Furthermore, dermatologists and cosmetologists use hyaluronic acid filler for frown lines. It adds hydration to the injected area to add rejuvenation. You can find it beneficial to hide facial folds, too. 

It is a temporary filler that lasts  6 to 12 months, so you need to have it reinjected after around a year. HA is a type of lip filler that contains collagen to make lips plump. This is how people get more volume and full structure of lips.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite

The next is (CaHa), which is also a temporary filler to hide deep folds. People who seek the removal of deep folds get them injected into their faces. Just like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite can also be used as filler for frown lines. Cosmetologists use it to hide deep wrinkles, too. So, it has multiple benefits. However, it can last for up to 12 months.

Poly-L-lactic Acid

This is a semi-permanent filler because it lasts up to 2 years. It is also known as a thick filler. Poly-l-lactic acid is for patients with low volume in wrinkles, temple area, and cheeks. People who reach a specific age where their body stops forming enough volume need this filler. Some people have diet problems, which makes them require additional volume at a young age. These people have thin skin, and cosmetologists inject poly-l-lactic acid fillers into the target area of their faces. 

What are Some Common Types of Permanent Fillers?

Now, you will find some fillers that are used for permanent purposes. It does not mean that people have them forever in their injected area; instead, these fillers have a longer duration. 

Polyalkylimide

If we compare it with the above types, you can consider it one of the permanent facial fillers. The reason is that they last up to 4 years, depending on the area of the body. However, some people consider it semi-permanent. Cosmetologists inject them in lips, jawlines, cheekbones, and wrinkles to add high volume and deep thickness. 

Polymethylmethacrylate Acid

Here is another one considered permanent by some experts while semi-permanent by some. It depends on the area where you have them injected. They are mostly suitable for nasolabial folds because they are deep injections. Likewise, some use it as a deep chin crease filler because it adds thickness for a long duration. PMMA acid is one of the permanent facial fillers that can last up to 5 years. 

What Lip Filler Benefits Do People Get? 

In this era, almost every woman wants plump lips with full structure. That is about the beauty standards that are being followed in the beauty industry. Celebrities focus on dermal fillers for the sake of benefits, like,  

✔ Full and plump lips

✔ The complete structure of the lips

✔ Full hydration for a lovely appearance.  

✔ Natural looks with more volume and softness.

What are Some Possible Side Effects of Injecting Dermal Fillers?

Everything has some side effects, which can occur because of many reasons. It could be because of injecting the wrong type of filler or the clash of the medical condition of a patient. People often ask how to inject fillers, which is not safe at all. It is the responsibility of a professional to inject it, and it requires training. So, do not try to inject it or ask any unprofessional to do it for you. Besides, patients may face side effects like, 

✔ Formation of lumps

✔ Pain in the injected area

✔ Tenderness

✔ Bleeding from the injected area

✔ Bruising 

✔ Itching and rashes 

✔ Swelling in the injected area

✔ Discoloration or redness 

How do you remove filler from your face if something goes wrong?

If anything goes wrong, some patients can have a reverse operation. It depends on the conditions that cosmetologists and dermatologists decide. In the industry, some injections are used to dissolve the fillers and fats from the targeted area.

Hyaluronidase Injection

It is one of the common injections that reverses the hyaluronic acid. It is an enzyme that dissolves filler from the face to minimize the impact. People with such size effects receive treatment for it.

Important Note

Please seek advice from an expert (cosmetologist/dermatologist) before having fillers injected into your face. After analyzing your skin condition, facial features, and medical needs, they can decide which is best.
