Dermal Fillers

    NEW YORK, NY, April 28, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When you are plagued by unsightly facial lines and wrinkles, nothing can be more satisfying than immediate correction with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers consist of biocompatible materials, such as concentrated hyaluronic acid, that are injected beneath the skin to enhance subtle contours and soften facial creases and wrinkles brought on by old age. If you would like to regain your youthful appearance without the downtime required for facelift surgery, dermal fillers may be right for you.

How to Select a Dermal Filler For Your Needs

There are dozens of dermal fillers on the market today, each of which is suited to addressing particular skin imperfections. The following is a list of popular dermal fillers and their uses to help you determine which is right for your needs:

- Restylane , Perlane and Juvederm -- these dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance already present in your body. These three fillers work to add volume and shape to lift up wrinkles and folds in your face. Within the Restylane and Juvederm lines, there are two options available (Perlane and Juvederm Plus) for differing product consistencies. Thicker consistencies are used to treat the deepest wrinkles and folds
- Radiesse -- Radiesse is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel. This dermal filler not only adds volume in treated areas, but also stimulates your natural growth of collagen, rebuilding your skin's foundation without the risk of permanent dermal fillers
- Sculptra -- this dermal filler is made of a synthetic material known as poly-L-lactic acid, an acid used in dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants. Sculptra is injected below the surface of your skin where it stimulates your body to produce additional volume

Common Treatment Areas

Board-certified plastic surgeons use dermal fillers to treat fine lines and wrinkles of the face. Some common treatment areas include:

- Around the eyes
- Brow and forehead
- Bridge of the nose
- Around the mouth
- Jaw line and cheeks

Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume to your lips and may even last longer than normal collagen injections. Dermal fillers should not be used for wrinkles in your hands, to add volume to breasts or any other part of the body other than the face. In some cases, dermal fillers can be used to treat scars, cellulite dimples or other small depressions in your skin.
