About Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to fill in wrinkles, lines, and hollow areas of the face, restoring volume and creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. They’re also commonly used to enhance facial contours and plump up lips. Here’s a breakdown of key aspects:
1. Types of Chemical Peels
- VI Peel Original: Great for all skins groups and skin types. Benefits include tighter looking skin, smoother texture and renewed radiance. The peel is specifically formulated to rejuvenate, refresh and reset for rapid visible results.Best for sensitive skin, early signs of aging and rough texture.
- VI Peel Advanced: Ideal for mature clients that struggle with deep set wrinkles and loss of elasticity. The peel penetrates deeper into the skin, enhancing collagen stimulation increasing cell turnover, helping firm the skin.
- VI Peel Precision Plus: Perfect for skin concerns including Sun Damage, Melasma and Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). Medium in depth this peel suppresses the production of melanin while promoting rapid cell turnover for a more even and bright skin tone.
2. Procedure
Dermal filler injections are typically performed by a trained healthcare provider. The area to be treated is cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. The filler is then injected into specific areas using a fine needle or cannula.
3. Results
Results from dermal fillers are often immediate, though there may be some swelling or bruising initially. The final results become more apparent once any swelling subsides, usually within a few days to a week. Depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism, results can last from several months to a couple of years.
4. Areas Treated
Dermal fillers can be used to address various concerns, including: Smoothing lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds (lines around the mouth) and marionette lines (lines extending from the corners of the mouth).
- Adding volume to cheeks or temples.
- Enhancing lips, chin and jaw line.
- Filling in hollow areas under the eyes (tear troughs) or in the hands.
Maintenance
Dermal fillers are not permanent, so maintenance treatments are usually required to sustain results. Some individuals opt for touch-up injections every few months, while others may go longer between treatments, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.
