Dermal filler (玻尿酸填充剂) is an injectable substance used to enhance the appearance of the skin by filling facial wrinkles, restoring facial volume, and augmenting facial features.

These fillers can be made from different materials like hyaluronic acid and collagen. They are temporary solutions, as they are eventually absorbed by the body.

Dermal fillers have gained popularity as a non-invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery, providing an option for improving the skin's appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dermal Filler

  • Dermal fillers can be categorized into temporary, semi-permanent, and permanent options based on the ingredients used.

    Temporary fillers primarily consist of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our skin. These fillers typically last between 9 to 15 months and are naturally metabolized by the body. Popular brands of hyaluronic acid-based fillers in Singapore include Juvederm Voluma / Volbella, Restylane and Croma Saypha Volume Plus.

    Semi-permanent fillers offer the additional benefit of collagen stimulation and volumizing effects. They have a duration of around 1.5 to 2 years. Examples of semi-permanent fillers include Radiesse and Sculptra.

    Permanent fillers have become less favored in recent years due to their higher risk of complications and irreversible nature.

  • Dermal fillers and BTX injections work in different ways to address wrinkles. While both are effective for wrinkle treatment, they target different types of wrinkles.

    Dermal fillers are ideal for static wrinkles caused by aging. They add volume to the skin and fill in static wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.

    On the other hand, BTX injections are suitable for dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. BTX temporarily relaxes the facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.

  • The duration of dermal fillers can vary from six months to one or two years, depending on the specific filler used and the injected area. Factors such as lifestyle and diet can also influence the longevity of the fillers. It's important to note that dermal fillers are temporary and will naturally dissolve over time in the body.

  • Dermal fillers are typically not permanent and will require ongoing treatments. The frequency of these treatments will depend on the specific filler and your personal requirements. In general, individuals may need repeat treatments every 6 months to 2 years.

  • Common side effects related to injections, such as mild discomfort, redness, and swelling, may occur but typically subside within a few days. Discomfort is minimal because of the application of topical numbing cream before the injection and the presence of lidocaine in the Dermal Filler.

  • You can resume your regular activities right after the procedure. Light makeup can be applied if desired. However, it is important to avoid massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours. If there is swelling or bruising, using a cold compress can help alleviate it.
