The sheer number of dermal fillers and injectables available is overwhelming, and can be a huge obstacle to men and women who are considering one of these treatments. Fortunately, most of these products are specifically designed for certain traits or areas of the face, making it easier to choose the best treatment for you. If you’re struggling to find the best filler for you, here’s how to narrow down your choices.
Fillers vs. Injectables
These products typically come in two varieties: dermal fillers and injectables. Injectables, like Botox®, relax the muscles in the face that are responsible for causing wrinkles. They don’t offer long-term wrinkle relief, but can temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face that are caused by muscle contractions. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, do more than just relax muscles. These products include gels that plump the skin, restoring volume and filling in wrinkles and lines. These products vary based upon the ingredients included in their unique gels.
Long-Lasting Results
Patients looking for long-lasting results will want to narrow their choice to products by Juvederm® or Restylane®. The unique ingredients in these fillers allows for results that last up to a year or longer, and provide an increase in skin volume that looks smooth and natural. The main ingredient in these products, hyaluronic acid, is naturally found in the body and gradually absorbed over time.
Specialized Products
Patients looking to treat a specific area of the face can narrow down their choice to a product designed for that area. Kybella® is an injectable that is specifically designed to reduce the appearance of a double chin. Volbella® is a filler that is designed for use in the lips, restoring volume and reducing lines and wrinkles around the mouth. If you are after a certain look, it’s best to get a specialized treatment instead of trying to get those results from a generic injectable.
