Dermal fillers restore volume to the face.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers eliminate mild to deep facial folds and wrinkles such as, smile lines, nasolabial folds, mouth folds and parenthesis lines.

Therefore, dermal fillers add volume and in turn a more youthful look.

Moreover, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers may restore collagen, a protein involved in anti-aging. Collagen stimulation subsequently reduces fine facial lines and wrinkles. 

Furthermore, wrinkle reduction and fullness from fillers such as Juvederm, Juvederm Voluma,  Versa and Restylane Defyne are long-lasting.

In summary, all of the above factors plus a reversable filler make hyaluronic acid dermal fillers the primary fillers for rejuvenation. 

Common Facial areas for dermal filler injections

  •  Temples
  • Tear Troughs under the eye
  • Cheeks, especially common
  • Buccal cavity (hollow area under the cheeks)
  • Nasolabial folds (parenthesis lines at the mouth)
  • Lips, are most certainly a popular area to volumize
  • Marionette Lines (particularly mouth corner to chin)
  • Chin
  • Jowls, strengthen the jawline besides reducing the jowls
Dermal fillers create youth

Plus, hyaluronic acid fillers restore natural proteins, and colagen. Thus, uniquely adding volume and contour.

With this in mind, new dermal fillers contain X-pressHAn which makes them softer as with an increased ability to stretch. This is particularly important when restoring the natural shape of a facial feature. The fillers with this technology are:

  • Kysse
  • Defyne
  • Refyne
  • Contour
  • Lyft

Interestingly, a single syringe containing 1cc of product will significantly improve moderate facial lines and wrinkles. Therefore, only a few syringes are needed for a significant improvement.

Appropriately injected, facial fillers restore both volume and youthfulness with little or no downtime., derma

Every dermal filler has a specific use; in other words, you must choose the correct filler for the area injected.

Remarkably, while all are hyaluronic acid every dermal filler has its own unique trait. Thus, a filler suitable for one area may not be suitable for another. To illustrate, dermal fillers for the lip such as Restylane Kysse is soft, therefore perfect for creating full lips. However, Kysse is too soft to lift up a flattened cheek.

Conversely, Restylane Lyft created for adding volume to a cheek, is thick and firm. Thus, undeniably valuable for lifting a cheek but clearly, not ideal for filling the soft lip. 

Dr. Messina an instructor for dermal filler administration fully understands the indications for every dermal filler

The Blunt tip microcannula

the microcannula

The blunt tip microcannula has revolutionized the way dermal fillers are administered.

Unquestionably, the injection of a dermal filler is popular and safe nevertheless, complications happen. While the most common complication is bruising, more severe complications can occur. These include an artery becoming clogged with filler thus cutting blood flow to the area. Until now, we had no means of avoiding puncturing veins and arteries.

However, a new needle, the microcannula, with a blunt tip has outsmarted the previous sharp tip needles. 

A blunt tip needle called the Microcannula significantly reduces the risk of puncturing a blood vessel. So, the blunt tip microcannula reduces bruising as well as reducing the risk of an artery puncture. 

With its blunt round tip, the microcannula significantly reduces the risk of bleeding, bruising and, most notably, the risk of filling an artery.

In summary, the microcannula  reduces: 

  • Bruising
  • Bleeding
  • Puncture of and Artery
 

Of course, Dr. Messina uses microcannulas for every filler injection.

Patients love the microcannula chiefly for the decrease in bruising.

“What’s more, I love the microcannula because I know the filler was placed in the perfect position”.

Vobella plumps the lips giving a natural looking augmentation. However, the duration is not as long as other lip fillers.

Consequently, Volbella is losing ground to clearly superior lip fillers.

Juvederm Vlouma XC is a newer dermal filler that gives both lift and volume to the cheek.

Unique Vycross technology gives Voluma its superior lifting power.

Currently, only FDA approved for cheek filling, Juvederm Voluma will likely get approval for other areas.
