As the demand for non-surgical face improvements grows, it is critical to have a thorough grasp of the available options, potential side effects, common applications, and associated costs in order to make informed cosmetic treatment decisions. As a top provider of dermal fillers in Bangalore, we consider all these factors. Let’s learn about them in detail. 

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and rejuvenate the skin. They are commonly used in cosmetic procedures to address signs of aging or to enhance facial features. Each type of dermal filler has its advantages and considerations, and the best choice depends on individual goals, preferences, and skin conditions.

What are the Types of Dermal Fillers?

Dr. Sandhya Balasubramanyan offers treatments for various conditions by utilizing the best dermal fillers in Hyderabad. Those are as follows:

  • Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: These fillers are made from a substance that naturally occurs in the body, making them highly compatible. They are versatile and can be used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. Popular brands include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero Balance.
  • Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: Composed of calcium microspheres suspended in a gel, these fillers are thicker and longer-lasting. They are often used for deeper wrinkles and volume loss in areas like the cheeks and nasolabial folds. Radiesse is a well-known brand in this category.
  • Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Fillers: PMMA fillers contain tiny, biocompatible microspheres suspended in 80% collagen. They remain beneath the skin for longer-lasting results. They are often used for acne scar correction and deep facial folds. Artefill is an FDA-approved PMMA filler.
  • Poly-Lactic Acid Fillers: Also popularly known as Sculptra, these are biostimulatory Fillers made of PLA. They can be injected for deep wrinkles and furrows and tighten the skin. Over a few months, they stimulate the collagen content of the skin and help restore youthful, glowing skin with tightening of cheeks and Jawline. The effects are also longer-lasting.
  • Autologous Fat Injections: This involves harvesting fat from one area of the body, purifying it, and injecting it into areas requiring volume restoration. It offers natural-looking results and long-lasting effects. Fat can be used as millifat (breast, buttock large volume injections) microfat in deep facial wrinkles, hollow cheeks and sunken eyes or Nanofat injections for very fine wrinkles, scar improvement, or for overall skin quality results.

What are the Side Effects of Dermal Fillers?

While dermal fillers are generally safe, individuals considering treatment should be aware of potential side effects. These can include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, as well as allergic reactions, which may be more common with certain filler types.
