Filler Injections In Falmouth

Dermal fillers are products such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyl apatite that rejuvenate facial skin by reducing or eliminating wrinkles, raising scar depressions, enhancing lips and replacing soft-tissue volume loss through facial injections.

Dermal fillers, sometimes called soft tissue fillers, are substances designed to be injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume and fullness. Substances used in dermal fillers include:

• Calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a mineral-like compound found in bones.
• Hyaluronic acid, which is found in some fluids and tissues in the body that add plumpness to the skin.
• Polyalkylimide, a transparent gel that is compatible with the body.
• Polylactic acid, which stimulates the skin to make more collagen.
• Polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (PMMA), a semi-permanent fille

Each one of these is designed to treat different signs of aging or other cosmetic issues. The time they take to work, as well as how long they last, also vary. Some fillers last 6 months, while others last up to 2 years or longer. People should discuss their individual needs and expectations with their doctor to determine what filler would be the best choice for them.

Plump up thinning lips

• Enhance or fill in shallow areas on the face
• Decrease or remove the shadow or wrinkle under the eyes caused by the lower eyelid
• Fill in or soften the look of recessed scars
• Fill in or soften static wrinkles, especially on the lower face. Static wrinkles include those around the mouth and restorer volume and cheeks. These wrinkles are usually a result of a loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin

Allergan Filler is a family of injectable hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to provide 9 months to one year of correction for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth). It is also used for lip augmentation

Allergan Filler products are a smooth consistency gel, compared to some hyaluronic gel products that have a granular consistency. Allergan Fillers products are developed using the Hylacross technology to allow a smoother, malleable gel. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body. Hyaluronic acid works by holding in water at the injection site and acting as a cushioning agent. It adds temporary volume and a smoother appearance to skin. Most patients need more than one treatment to achieve optimal results.

As we age, the fat in the cheek area begins to deteriorate. As a consequence, the skin begins to sag, wrinkles become prominent, and you may notice considerable volume reduction in the mid-face area. Restylane fillers, which was formerly known as Perlane-L®, is a hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into the cheek area to treat the deep folds and wrinkles in this particular facial area. Through non-surgical injections, Restylane fillers provides fullness and volume for a more natural and youthful appearance.

Fillers help enhance and replace back the volume loss that we lose with aging which starts in the 30's .
