Compare/Contrast Options
There are a variety of available options for dermal fillers to enhance your facial features, reverse lines and wrinkles, and turn back the aging and stress damage to your features. Out of all the available options, you may want to compare and contrast the options for dermal fillers so that you can choose the best treatment for your skin and face. Whatever treatment you choose, you’re sure to feel younger, fresher and more vibrant after having a treatment with an injectable dermal filler.
Using one of these procedures may help you to decide on a longer-term plastic surgery such as liposuction, tummy tuck, face lift, or breast implant.
Here’s a look at some of the most popular option, a rundown of their strengths and when they are the best option:
Collagen
Collagen injectables have been used for decades, so there is the advantage of long history and known results. It is a natural human protein, and the animal derivatives used for cosmetic surgery are very similar to the human proteins, so it is safe for most people. Collagen can be used for many different purposes, such as filling facial wrinkles and folds, filling in sunken areas under the cheeks and eyes or anywhere on the face, a sculpting the face. The results last from 3 to 6 months, so they are in the midrange for length the results last.
The main drawbacks to collagen treatments are the possibility of allergic reaction to the proteins derived from animals. The initial treatment may need to be delayed while the plastic surgeon performs a test on the forearm to be sure the patient will not have a reaction to the collagen.
Evolence
Evolence is a modified collagen treatment that mixes more easily with the body’s natural proteins and uses more natural substances. The main advantages to Evolence are its ability to fill even deep folds and wrinkles, even the nasolabial fold between the nose and mouth that gets deeper with age, particularly in some people. It does not require a pre-test, and the procedure produces no swelling and very little bruising on comparison to traditional collagen treatments. The results are evident immediately, and there is no recovery period. It also lasts ls ightly longer than collagen, with consistent 6-month durability clinically verified. Tests on the 12-month results are underway.
Juvaderm
One of the hyaluronic acid fillers new to the dermal filler market, Juvaderm has an excellent record of long lasting, smooth results in filling everything from fine lines to deeper wrinkles and folds. It has advanced technology with no grains in the suspension used, leaving the skin soft and malleable. It has an extremely high concentration of hyaluronic acid, allowing it to perform well with few side effects.
Prevelle Silk
Prevelle might be considered the opposite of Juvaderm. It has an extremely low concentration of hyaluronic acid, which means there is virtually no swelling and very little waiting before your face is ready for public appearance. It is a lower cost treatment than most other injectables, and is ideal for the person who wants to give dermal fillers a try or wants a change that will be quickly reabsorbed.
Restylane
Is a premiere, highly effective hyaluric acid injectable that will fill deep folds and lines, plump lips and restyle chins, cheeks and eyes. It has no human or animal components in the hyaluric acid, so there are very few times that a patient has an allergic reaction to a Restylane treatment. It is quick to use and has a short recovery period.
Other treatments offered by plastic surgeons who do dermal injections are laser hair removal, breast lift, and laser surgery. Any of these procedures lifts your self esteem and increases your confidence.
