If you have started researching dermal fillers, it does not take long to get overwhelmed. There are many options and manufacturers to choose from, and at VIDA we offer only the safest and most effective options. Dermal fillers can be used to restore lost volume to the face and even the tops of the hands in some cases. Many people think of dermal fillers as a means of achieving fuller, more beautiful lips but that’s only one benefit of these fillers.
Some of the most well-known makers of dermal fillers include Restylane, Juvederm, and Sculptra. Most manufacturers also offer a variety of different types of fillers within their “filler family.” Each of these fillers is designed to treat different areas and can last different lengths of time. Determining the right dermal filler for you, or combination of dermal fillers, begins with a consultation where you can discuss your goals and desires with an expert.
Dermal Filler Facts
The vast majority of dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a type of acid that naturally occurs in the body. HA is not permanent and most dermal fillers that utilize HA last 6 – 12 months on average. Sculptra is different because it is not made with HA, but rather works by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen at the treatment site. HA provides immediate results, while Sculptra can take a few weeks to show results. However, it does last up to two years and therefore it is popular for those seeking semi-permanent results.
Every dermal filler is unique, even though many of them are made with HA and provide similar-sounding results. You deserve a dermal filler that was created for your specific goals, whether it is volumizing the cheeks, plumping the lips, or filling in hollow under-eye circles.
Choosing the right dermal filler is just one part of the process. It is equally important that the professional administering the filler is highly skilled, trained, and experienced. Call the VIDA office today at (503) 399-0021 to learn more about dermal fillers.
