Generally, permanent wrinkle lines don’t form until you’re in your 30s or 40s. Once this occurs, you may notice that deep lines are starting to develop at the corners of your eyes or around your mouth. You might also notice that your skin has less elasticity by the sagginess beneath your eyes, a plumper chin and drooping cheek bones. I recommend researching injectable facial fillers to replace the loss of structure in your face.
When doing research, it is tough trying to determine which injectable facial filler is right for you. This is because there are many factors to consider such as genetic background and history, time commitments, personal preferences, and more. Some popular and highly effective Facial fillers available on the market include Restylane, Sculptra and the Radiesse filler. The Restylane injectable facelift fillers were developed in Sweden. This type of injection is used to treat signs of aging beneath the eyes, around the mouth and around the nose.
Once a filler is injected during a non surgical facelift, it can help you maintain a youthful appearance for up to 18 months. However, you’ll see the best results if you receive touchups every five to nine months. Facial filler treatments are becoming increasingly popular and common among middle aged men and women. According to Forbes, more than 10 million people have received the injections. Below are a few additional details on my favorite types of facial fillers.
Sculptra fillers are designed for people who have a healthy immune system. Unlike Restylane, this filler is not designed for use in or around the mouth or eyes. To reap the full benefits of Sculptra Aesthetic facial fillers, you should receive at least four injections, spaced out over three week period. Over the course of two years, the fillers can make you look 10 or more years younger.
Radiesse treatments also allow you to turn back the clock without having a ton of injections. The Radiesse filler is a calcium based product. In fact, the filler uses similar calcium microspheres as those found in human teeth and bones. Therefore, not only do Radiesse injections increase calcium in the body, they also help the body to produce collagen.
News Medical shares that, “Collagen is a protein made up of amino-acids, which are in turn built of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Collagen contains specific amino acids – Glycine, Proline, Hydroxyproline and Arginine.” Furthermore, “Collagen makes up approximately 30% of the proteins within the body.”
Collagen, hyaluronic and elastin are chemicals that keep the skin looking youthful. Non-surgical facelifts that use fillers like Radiesse, Sculptra and Restylane help add some of these chemicals back into the body. Because the body is still aging, something not even surgical facelifts can stop, it’s necessary to return to a licensed cosmetic surgeon’s office to have the fillers touched up and eventually replaced.
As with any other medical procedure, talk with cosmetic specialists about preparation, recovery times, and next steps. A good way to measure how effective the treatments will be is to ask dermatologists to show you before and after images of clients they have already performed liquid facelifts on.
You might find it beneficial to list out questions and concerns you have about the procedures before you visit a dermatologist. It also helps to talk with relatives, friends and colleagues who have received injectable facial fillers. This way, you can learn firsthand how it feels to undergo the procedure and how soon you can expect to see long lasting results.
