Several factors can cause our skins to age, like smoking and exposure to UV light. However, we all age gradually, and our natural skin appearance will change at some point. The skin tends to look older, more tired with lines and wrinkles. It’s not the best appearance many people want. Luckily, treatments like the hyaluronic dermal fillers can help rejuvenate the skin and bring back the youthful look.
So, What Exactly is a Filler?
A filler or a soft tissue filler is a chemical substance designed for injecting into the soft tissue beneath the skin for rejuvenation. Fillers are known as dermal fillers and exist in different types. Each filler type treats distinct aging signs on the skin or other cosmetic procedures.
What are Fillers Made Of?
Fillers like Juvederm contain hyaluronic acid. The acid is the main component in high concentration to ensure it delivers lasting results on the skin. The organic substance is already present in the human body and is, thus, not a foreign chemical injected into the body. It is present in the skin and joints, so its introduction should not cause any adverse effects.
Other hyaluronic fillers, such as Restylane, can still reduce aging skin. However, each brand may come with a few modifications in the hyaluronic acid used. The variations can be in the size of the acid particle and viscosity, and they account for the difference in the performance of the filler brands.
However, hyaluronic acid is not the only component of dermal fillers. Other substances used include Polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres, Polylactic acid, Calcium hydroxylapatite, and Polyalkylimide. Each chemical is used in a filler based on the signs it is designed to treat.

How Long Does the Treatment Result Last?
The treatment results depend on the type of filler used and the part of the body on treatment. For example, hyaluronic acid filler treatment results last between 12 and 18 months on average when used for aging signs like wrinkles, facial depressions, and lines. However, when injected for jawline sculpting and cheek augmentation, and in large volumes, the results can last up to two years. On the other hand, Lip augmentation lasts between six and nine months.
Patients who wish to maintain the results after hyaluronic acid treatment should regularly repeat the procedure. For instance, if you expect the results to last 24 months, you should consider scheduling the next session after 22 to 23 months.
What Areas of the Face Do Fillers Treat?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are FDA-approved and safe for use on your skin. When injected by an experienced medical specialist, they have mild side effects that resolve without requiring any treatment. The injection also requires no recovery time, and patients immediately achieve the desired results. As a result, they are currently one of the most common aesthetics treatments that can benefit your face in the following areas:
Lips
Lips tend to lose their volume as you age and appear thinner. As a result, they are one of the face areas where hyaluronic acid fillers can be injected. Besides, lip filler treatments are among the most common procedures celebrities undertake to make their lips plumper and achieve symmetry.
Chin and Jawline
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used as a non-surgical solution for chin and jawline reshaping. It can reshape a deformed jawline for a better side profile and eliminate appearances such as a sagging neck.
Cheeks
Cheeks are among the areas that experience massive loss in volume with age. The volume loss can also result from other activities like high-impact exercise. Professionally injected hyaluronic fillers can help restore the plump and a youthful appearance without the face freezing associated with other treatments like Botox.
Forehead
Forehead lines are one rather noticeable sign of aging, although they can still appear naturally and visible even when the face is normal. The forehead is thus a facial area that can greatly benefit from filler treatments. The hyaluronic injection fills the lines with the organic chemical, restoring a smooth appearance.
Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds refer to the line appearing from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They add age to the face, especially if joining the marionette lines below the mouth corners. Patients can easily treat them with hyaluronic acid fillers.
