What Types of Dermal Filler Treatments are There?
Cheek Dermal Filler
Cheek dermal fillers specifically target the cheekbones and are an ideal choice for those who want defined and prominent features. Besides lifting the cheekbones, they also diminish fine lines around the area, adding youthfulness to the face and skin. Common ingredients used in them are hyaluronic acid, poly-L-lactic acid, or calcium hydroxylapatite. However, compared to invasive treatments, cheek dermal fillers deliver a more natural-looking outcome, which means the cheekbones look proportionate and the changes quite subtle, enhancing the overall facial features.
Lip Dermal Filler
Lip dermal fillers involve injecting certain volumizing ingredients such as synthetic hyaluronic acid to make the lips look fuller. While most people opt for lip fillers when they naturally have thinner lips, it is also a procedure worth considering to correct the shape of lips in case of an irregular or asymmetric shape, to get rid of wrinkles on the lips, and to restore volume lost as a result of aging, sun damage, or smoking.
Chin dermal filler
Chin dermal fillers help in adding proportion to the chin, which brings an overall harmony to the face. Aging can lead to the loss of fat in the chin, thus causing jowls. While chin fillers help address this concern, they’re also quite useful for sharpening the chin for those who have rounder chins as a result of genetics. With chin fillers, the chin looks fuller, which improves front as well as side profile of the face.

What are The Benefits of Dermal Filler Procedures?
Dermal fillers have several advantages, especially for those who witness early aging signs. Various factors contribute to early or premature aging of the skin such as poor lifestyle, stress, pollution, etc., which eventually leads to loss of elasticity. Dermal fillers can benefit your skin in various ways, some of which are as follows.
Immediate Results
When the signs of aging are quite evident, it is natural for people to look for remedies that offer instant results. It takes dermal fillers only about a week to two to settle into the skin. With minimal wait time, you’ll witness a drastic improvement in your fine lines and minimized scars, if any.
Collagen Production
While aging causes a slow-down of natural collagen and elastin production in your skin, most dermal fillers comprise hyaluronic acid, which is the main ingredient that promotes collagen and elastin production. This helps restore the elasticity of your skin while adding a natural glow to your face.
Quick Procedure
Dermal fillers take only about 20 minutes, and since it is a non-invasive procedure, it does not require recovery time unlike those that involve surgery. You can visit the clinic any day, get the procedure done, and go back home. The slight swelling at the injection site diminishes in a day or two.
Long-Lasting Results
While exactly how long the results last depends on the type of filler, with the right care and upkeep after the procedure, and your lifestyle, the results can generally last anywhere between 6 to 18 months. Additionally, you can opt for short-term injections if you’re trying dermal fillers for the first time to assess the outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Aging causes a natural loss of subcutaneous fat, which causes the smile lines and those forming around the cheeks and chin to be more evident as the facial muscles work closer to the surface of the skin. Dermal fillers help make the face appear fuller and smoothen the skin as they target fine lines to diminish them.
Dermal fillers can treat cheeks, chin, lips, forehead, and around the eyes. They are also useful for addressing specific concerns such as fine lines, diminishing the appearance of scars, and to eliminate nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
The dermal filler procedure involves facial assessment and mapping, followed by cleaning and anesthetizing the area. The filler is then injected, after which the face is cleaned. Being a non-invasive procedure that involves the usage of anesthesia, dermal fillers don’t cause pain.
It can take about 1 to 2 weeks for the filler to settle into the skin and deliver the results. Depending on the dermal filler you have chosen, the results last anywhere between 6 to 18 months, and even 2 years in some cases.
Dermal fillers are considered quite safe since they’re a non-invasive procedure, delivering non-permanent outcomes. Complications, if any, involve short-lived swelling at the injection site, and in some cases, infections, with no permanent complications or side effects.
It is best to avoid using makeup products and exposing the skin to heat or sun after a dermal filler procedure. Additionally, it is also recommended to avoid alcohol, strenuous activity, and applying pressure on the area for a while.
The face is cleaned after the procedure, followed by which one must not touch the face or wash it for 6 hours. After this, a gentle cleanser and water can be used for cleaning and washing the face.
