Injectable filler

Injectable filler is a soft tissue filler injected into the skin to help fill in facial wrinkles, restoring a smoother appearance. Most of these wrinkle fillers are temporary because they are eventually absorbed by the body. Some people may need more than one injection to achieve the wrinkle-smoothing effect. The effect lasts for about six months or longer.

Etymology

The term "injectable filler" is derived from the English words "injectable", meaning capable of being injected, and "filler", which refers to a substance added to something to increase its volume or alter its appearance.

Types of Injectable Fillers

There are several types of injectable fillers, each designed to treat different signs of aging or other cosmetic issues. The three main types of injectable fillers are Hyaluronic Acid Wrinkle Fillers, Synthetic Wrinkle Fillers, and Collagen Wrinkle Fillers.

Hyaluronic Acid Wrinkle Fillers

Hyaluronic Acid Wrinkle Fillers are the most popular category of wrinkle fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. High concentrations are found in soft connective tissues and in the fluid surrounding your eyes. It's also in some cartilage and joint fluids, as well as skin tissue.

Synthetic Wrinkle Fillers

Synthetic Wrinkle Fillers are substances that are not found naturally in the skin. They include lab-made substances like silicone, polyalkylimide, polylactic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite.

Collagen Wrinkle Fillers

Collagen Wrinkle Fillers are made from purified collagen that can come from a variety of sources such as bovine or human. Collagen is a protein that is a major part of skin and other tissues.

Risks and Side Effects

Like all procedures, injectable fillers have potential risks and side effects. These can include allergic reactions, infection, and the formation of tiny bumps under the skin. In rare cases, skin cells may die if fillers are not used properly. There may also be immediate or delayed side effects that can last for several months or longer.
