What is filler and what are the side effects?

Facial fillers are synthetic or naturally occurring substances injected into the lines, folds, and tissues of the face to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and restore the facial fullness that decreases with age.

These injectables are also called dermal fillers, injectable implants, wrinkle fillers, and soft-tissue fillers. They’re used to erase smile lines, plump up cheeks and lips, and correct acne scars.

The vast majority of fillers are absorbable. Thus, they offer temporary results that last from months to a couple of years, depending on the product and the person.

Commonly used fillers include:

• Hyaluronic acid (HA): This gel-like substance is found naturally in the body. It’s used to “plump up” skin, adding volume to places like the cheeks and smoothing out wrinkles, especially around the eyes, lips, and forehead.

• Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA): This filler uses calcium (in the form of microscopic particles) and adds it to a gel that is then injected. The gel is of a thicker consistency than HA, which makes it better suited for deep wrinkles.

• Poly-L-lactic acid: This biodegradable acid helps stimulate the skin’s own collagen production, instead of “filling” wrinkles. This gives firmness to the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. This filler is used to treat deep wrinkles and increase the volume where fat has been lost. It works gradually but can provide results for at least two years, making it a semi-permanent filler.

• Autologous fat injections (fat grafting): This technique takes fat from parts of your body, such as the buttocks, and injects it into facial areas for filling.

This fat is typically removed from your body using liposuction, a procedure in which fat is vacuumed out of the body via a hollow tube inserted through incisions in the skin.

Side effects of facial fillers:  The following side effects — which tend to occur around the injection site — can be immediate, but usually clear within 5 to 15 days:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Pain
• Bruising
• Itching
• Rash

Consult immediately with your dermatologist if you face any of above side effect while filler procedure. KEMPS Skin Clinic, Vaishali Sec-4,  provide services related to Filler and other skin enhancement treatment. You may book an advance appointment for better service.
