Fillers have become known in the cosmetic industry for those hoping to regain their youthful appearance without undergoing major surgery. The most common filler variety is hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid injections, which are gel-based, provide a non-surgical, yet efficient way to improve facial contours, minimize wrinkles, and restore that radiant, natural look that we all want. Are you interested in getting a filler treatment, or do you want to learn more about fillers in general? Then, follow along!
What are fillers?
Facial fillers or derma fillers are a type of non-invasive surgery that aid to reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the face. The most widely used type of dermal filler is hyaluronic acid (HA). Because of its water affinity, it not only fills and volumizes the injected area but also hydrates it, hence reducing wrinkles and volume loss. Because HA is a more natural component of skin, it leads to less risk of allergic reaction.
Fillers are usually injected to enhance one’s appearance in addition to correcting aging indications. The use of filler for facial rejuvenation has become a standard treatment procedure for aesthetic clinicians worldwide. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery data, the number of nonsurgical aesthetic procedures using hyaluronic acid injectables has surged 97 percent from 2010 to 2017. Fillers can last about a year or more, depending on your skin type.
Perks of Fillers
Filler injected into your skin can tackle fine lines, sun-induced wrinkles and add facial volume and plumpness lost over time. HA Fillers have plenty of other advantages, in addition to smoothing out wrinkles as well as improving volume in the face, hyaluronic acid keeps your skin nourished and moisturized. When compared against other cosmetic procedures, they’re rather inexpensive. They are reversible if you decide to change your mind or don’t like the outcome. They provide outcomes that look natural and are quick and non-invasive.

Types of Dermal Fillers
Non-HA Fillers
Non-HA fillers can comprise various substances like calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). These substances aren’t naturally found in the body. Popular brands that use Non-HA fillers are: Sculptra and Aquamid. Non-HA fillers might offer longer-lasting results compared to HA fillers. However, they may not be as easily reversible and might carry a higher risk of allergic reactions or adverse events due to their composition.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
HA Fillers typically manifest in two primary structures: monophasic and biphasic.
- Monophasic Structure: Characterized by interlinked hyaluronic acid chains, forming a gel-like substance. Renowned for its smoothness, this structure serves as a reliable option across various cosmetic enhancements.
- Biphasic Structure: Exhibits a gel-like hyaluronic acid with dispersed free particles. Although slightly less smooth than monophasic fillers, biphasic variants offer increased volumizing potential, catering to specific augmentation requirements.
Brands modify the mixing and reaction stages of HA fillers, influencing the final product’s characteristics. Some brands prefer thicker formulations for targeted areas, while others opt for thinner variations.
Deciding between HA and non-HA fillers often depends on patients’ needs, desired results, and factors such as potential allergic reactions, longevity of results, and the ability to reverse the effects if necessary.
