Your skin is a very sensitive part of your body. Therefore, before trying out new products, you should have all the information related to the item. Dermal fillers are what you may be needing to make your skin smooth and glowing. If you are considering to use them to improve your appearance and look younger, here are essential things to know first.

What are Dermal Fillers?

They are injections of gel that help in filling in wrinkles and promote an increase in the volume of the soft tissue. They are injected on any part of your face, whether the under the eyes or the cheeks. Dermal fillers may be naturally derived or synthetic. Naturally derived fillers have fewer side effects but only last for a short time. On the other hand, synthetic fillers last for long but have significant side effects.

How Do They Work?

When we get old, our collagen and elastin levels reduce causing wrinkles to appear. Experts argue that collagen and elastin levels reduce at 2% per year from the age of 25. To remedy this, dermatologists inject dermal fillers on a person’s skin which in turn restores lost volume to your face, and as a result, wrinkles are smoothened.

How Long Do They Last?

It depends on the kind of dermal filler you get. Non- permanent fillers do not last forever, but they do last for a long time. But no matter what type of filler you choose, you may need another injection six month to two years from the first time you are injected if you still want to maintain that look. However, wearing off the dermal fillers is a positive thing because people who want to look good only for specific events such as weddings can inject them as a one-time thing.

What are Dermal Fillers Used For?

Most dermal fillers are used to correct aging signs and give one a youthful appearance. But they can be injected to help smooth out vertical lines on the lips as well as filling out the under-eye area.

Any Side Effects?

Like any other medical, dermal fillers also have several side effects, which in most cases occur just after the injection. But they are not a cause to worry since they are not permanent and will disappear after a short while. Side effects include swelling, redness, itching, tenderness and bruising.

Dermal filling is a safe procedure that will help you to rejuvenate your skin. However, make sure that you are attended to by an expert to reduce the risk with dermal fillers.
