Filler
Fillers are biocompatible materials with filling action that are used to correct and restore facial volumes in certain anatomical areas such as cheekbones, nasolabial folds, lips, jawline contour, and to fill finer facial folds and wrinkles that form due to repeated movements with tissue aging, such as perioral wrinkles.
Fillers can also be used for the correction of facial asymmetries, receding chin, and post-traumatic scar outcomes that have caused an alteration of facial volumes.
In the process of facial aging, bone tissue resorption, reduction of fat compartments, and muscle-ligament laxity due to the effect of gravity lead to a change in proportions and a downward descent of tissues.
Over time, our cells also produce less hyaluronic acid, an endogenous polymer present in many tissues of our body, and numerous environmental factors contribute to its more rapid degradation over the years. Since this substance is capable of binding large amounts of water, its reduced concentration will lead to dehydration, loss of turgor and skin firmness, resulting in wrinkles and laxity.
It is very important to rely on a doctor who has deepened anatomical knowledge of the face and has gained clinical experience to achieve corrections with results that are not artificial but natural and harmonious.
The treatment is preceded by a thorough analysis of the degree and type of facial aging and a treatment plan shared with the patient's needs.
Based on their clinical experience, the doctor must also make a personalized choice for the patient among the various resorbable materials available on the market: hyaluronic acid of different densities, calcium hydroxyapatite, etc.
The correct depth of the implants using thin needles or blunt microcannulas allows for the restoration of volumes typical of a younger age and the correction of finer wrinkles and deeper folds.
The duration of the performed treatment depends on the site of the implant and the type of product used.
The duration of the session varies from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the areas to be treated.
After the treatment, there may be slight swelling (edema) or slight redness present for 12-24 hours or in the first days post-treatment depending on the treated areas. In more fragile skin, bruising or small hematomas may appear. Prolonged inflammatory reactions are very rare.
