Dermal Filler Q/A
Not to be confused with Botox, Dermal Fillers are injectable implants that help smooth skin and wrinkles. As the name implies, they are injected beneath your skin using a needle. Dermal fillers can help minimize the signs of aging and give your skin that plump and hydrated look. Filler is not one size fits all there are four different categories that have differing benefits.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are of the most common and are naturally produced by your body and already found in your skin and cartilage. Generally, fillers made with hyaluronic acid last between 6-12 months.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite is a mineral that is found in our bones. Fillers made with this material last up to 18 months.
Poly-L-lactic Acid is a biodegradable synthetic material that’s also used to make medical products like dissolvable stitches. These fillers may last up to two years.
Polymethylmethacrylate beads are the only filler that can’t be absorbed by your body, meaning the results are permanent. They’re only used around the mouth.

Question 2: What are the possible side effects?

Question 3: Are dermal Fillers Permanent?
No! Your body naturally breaks down the filler and the speed at which it breaks down depends on your metabolism. There is also an enzyme that can be injected into the area to dissolve the product if you decide you want them removed completely.
Question 4: How old should I be to get dermal fillers?
Any age!! Dermal Fillers are preventive to slow the signs of aging. Your mid-20s is often a good time to start as your body starts to lose bone and collagen around age 26. Starting early is the perfect way to maintain your skins appearance and prevent aging before it arrives.
