Dermal Fillers are becoming increasingly popular within aesthetics across both the UK and the entire globe, due to their non-invasive nature and undeniably clear results. These fillers can be used in a massive variety of ways, from several anti-ageing procedures to face-contouring treatments. But before you undergo a dermal filler based procedure, you are probably keen to find out exactly what it is that is being injected into your face and for what reason.
So what is dermal filler made of and why does it boast such impressive results across the board? Read our expert guide to find out everything you need to know about dermal fillers and why they’ve become such an integral part of the beauty industry.
What is Dermal Filler Made Of and What Makes it Work?
At The Salon at Maxy Farm, our dermal filler clinic utilises products like Juvederm and Teosyal, each comprised of hyaluronic acid, a substance which you’d be interested to know is already naturally present in the skin. With age, however, our natural production rate of hyaluronic acid and collagen diminishes, giving the face a less full and more sunken look. Injections of hyaluronic acid thereby help to promote hydration and elasticity, ensuring that the skin has plenty of collagen and moisture. Not only this, but hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers can also restore volume to ageing areas, working to create a youthful and rejuvenated appearance across the face.
What Can Dermal Filler Be Used For?
Dermal fillers have an impressive range when it comes to aesthetic issues that they have the capability of addressing. They can reduce ageing in a number of ways including diminishing the appearance of wrinkles in affected areas such as marionette lines, nasolabial folds and smokers/kissing lines. This works by creating volume and adding a youthful plumpness to the face.
Dermal fillers can also be used to create symmetry across the face, regardless of whether the client’s insecurities lie in the lips or even the bridge of the nose. Hyaluronic acid is perfect for facial contouring, with simultaneously long-lasting, yet reversible, treatments available in several areas of the face. Popular in both the cheekbones and the jawline, dermal fillers can offer people a more defined facial structure.
Is Dermal Filler Suitable for Vegans?
If you’re a vegan interested in trying aesthetic treatments, you’re probably wondering ‘What is dermal filler made of?’ Well, most dermal fillers on the market contain absolutely no animal products and may therefore be suitable for vegans. At the Salon at Maxy Farm, we use high-quality fillers such as Juvederm, the #1 chosen dermal filler in the US, or Teosyal for our dermal filler based aesthetic treatments, both of which are made purely from hyaluronic acid.
Alternatives of Dermal Filler
If hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers don’t appeal to you, at The Salon at Maxy Farm, we offer a whole range of anti-ageing treatments. The Salon can also provide botox facial treatment and skin booster treatments as alternatives to dermal fillers, each with its very own proven impacts and effects.
Like dermal fillers, BOTOX is also an anti-ageing treatment aiming to add a youthful quality to the face, by relaxing the targeted muscles in order to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Whilst dermal fillers add volume to sunken areas for up to 18 months, BOTOX injectables work to relax wrinkles for as long as 4 months.
Our skin booster treatments also utilise a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate the skin, stimulating collagen and adding elasticity to its texture, only using skin peels rather than injectables. With more gradual results than hyaluronic acid fillers, the effects of skin peels require time to progress post-treatment.
Benefits of the Filler we use
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Teosyal are considered safer compared to some other types on the market primarily because they are dissolvable. This characteristic is important as it allows for greater control and reversibility in the treatment process. If any complications or undesirable results occur, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the filler, effectively reversing the procedure. This safety feature provides a significant advantage, offering both patients and practitioners an added layer of security in managing the outcomes of aesthetic treatments.
