Fillers

Fillers

We are in a period of time when beauty can be easily changed and adjusted. Beauty comes in all aspects, and some people may wish for certain areas of their face to look different. Insecurities are very normal to have. Everyone feels insecure about one specific thing. Luckily, there are ways that allow for people to change parts of their physical appearance, and one very popular way is by getting fillers.

The face and its features naturally loses subcutaneous fat as it ages. Facial muscles begin to reduce, eventually working closer towards the skin’s surface which makes the lines around a smile much more apparent. The loss of facial volume comes from the facial skin stretching and other factors that may also affect the skin such as sun exposure, genes and lifestyle. When searching for a place to get top quality fillers, El Paso’s Medical Aesthetics offers great opportunities for adjustments that will be worth it. 

What are fillers?

Fillers are used to be able to decrease any facial lines and replace any volume and fullness in the face. Facial tissues eventually thin out and lines on the face may become imprinted around hollow areas of the face such as the nose, mouth and cheeks. Fillers are able to restore a much more youthful look and this is done by using injectable filler treatment. 

Fillers have a gel-like substance and they work by being injected under the skin. In this way, any lost volume and smooth lines can be restored. This also helps with softening creases and enhancing any facial areas that may have diminished. This treatment is very popular and many people use it as a facial rejuvenation treatment. This is a better way to have a younger look without needing any surgery. 

As fillers work to help smooth the face and bring a more youthful glow, they are also useful for diminishing vertical lip lines, enhancing sunken cheeks, plumping, enhancing lips, smooth chin crease and improving facial symmetry. 

Types of fillers

• Calcium Hydroxylapatite: This is a natural substance that is found in the bones. This type of substance can be used in a filler as particles combined with calcium are converted into a smooth gel. This substance is thick which helps last longer, usually about 12 months. CaHA can be used for deeper lines and wrinkles. It can also help stimulate natural collagen production.
• Hyaluronic Acid: This type of substance is already found in your skin. It is useful for skin plumping and hydration. HA is also a gel- like and soft substance. The substance provides temporary results, lasting between 6-12 months. The reason for why it is temporary is because of the way the body naturally absorbs the particles of the substance. HA comes in a couple of different types of fillers such as Autologous fat injections, Poly-L-lactic Acid and Polymethylmethacrylate. 
• Autologous fat injections (facial fat grafting): These types of filler treatments are the only ones that are injectable and require surgery. This would result in years of outstanding results. This injection requires getting fat from other parts of the body and injecting the purified fat into the area of the face that is required. This type of treatment requires a specialist that is experienced in cosmetic surgery. 

• Poly-L-lactic Acid: This type of substance is synthetic biodegradable. It is considered to be a collagen stimulator which is how it helps with smoothing facial  lines and rebuilding natural collagen on the face. This type of treatment is used for treating deeper facial wrinkles and results last up to at least 2 years. 

• Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA): This type of substance is synthetic and biocompatible. In fillers, PMMA comes in the form of microspheres which look like tiny little balls that stay on the skin which helps stay on the skin for a long time. This substance contains collagen, which is used for face structuring and firming.
