Lots of people, both men and women are discouraged by the appearance of wrinkles, furrows and fine lines in their necks or faces. However, they don\u2019t really want cosmetic surgery, either because it\u2019s surgery or it\u2019s too expensive right now. Our dermatologists at Ciao Bella are pleased to offer these clients dermal fillers to add volume to those dry, flat areas and restore a more youthful and animated look.<\/p>\n
What Are Dermal Fillers?<\/strong> Temporary Dermal Fillers<\/strong> Another type of temporary filler is the patient\u2019s own fat. This fat is harvested from another part of the body, such as the thighs or tummy during liposuction. It is purified then reinjected into the patient. Because it\u2019s from the client, there\u2019s no risk of rejection.<\/p>\n Semi-Permanent<\/strong>
\nDermal fillers<\/a> are materials injected beneath the client\u2019s skin to add volume. They\u2019re all biocompatible, are outpatient procedures and take less than thirty minutes in most cases. There are temporary, semi-permanent and permanent types of dermal fillers.<\/p>\n
\nThese types of fillers are absorbed by the body over time. The client is free to return for maintenance treatments. One popular temporary dermal filler is hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar which is found in such fillers as Juvederm and Restylane.<\/p>\n
\nSemi-permanent dermal fillers<\/a> last between a year and two years. They are made of substances such as poly-L-lactic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite. Radiesse is considered a semi-permanent dermal filler.<\/p>\n
