What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made of hyaluronic acid, collagen stimulators, or other substances that are used to restore lost volume of the face due to the ageing process. They can be used to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, plump up lips, and enhance facial features such as the cheeks and jawline. They can also be used to contour and lift the face to achieve a more attractive facial outline.

One of the biggest advantages of using dermal filler injections is that they are a non-invasive alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures like surgery. This means little to no downtime, minimal side effects, and immediate results. Unlike surgical procedures, there is also less risk involved with dermal fillers.

What can Dermal (Face) Fillers treat?

Dermal fillers injection can address multiple concerns related to facial ageing. They are commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines, as well as restore volume loss in different areas of the face.

Common Dermal Filler Treatment Areas

Dermal fillers can be used to treat various areas of the face, including:

  • Dermal Filler for Cheeks – soften the creases and wrinkles on your face, or lift sagging cheeks and jowls for a more youthful and defined facial contour
  • Dermal Filler for Nose – project and define a sharp and prominent nose bridge
  • Dermal Filler for Lip – gives a fuller, plumper lip, smoothen out lip wrinkles
  • Dermal Filler for Jawline – Tighten and improve jawline definition to achieve a more attractive facial profile
  • Dermal Filler for Nasolabial Fold – smooth out deep laugh lines that run from the outer edge of the nose to the outer corner of the lips
  • Dermal Filler for Tear Trough – restore volume and rejuvenate the skin around the eyes to improve its appearance by reducing the appearance of dark circles and eye bags
  • Dermal Filler for Chin – Project and lengthen the chin to improve chin definition, sharpness and achieve more desirable facial proportions.

Who are dermal fillers for?

Face fillers are suitable for both men and women of different ages who want to improve the appearance of their skin, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial features. However, it is important to consult with a professional to determine if you are a good candidate for face fillers and the specific type that would best suit your needs.

What are the types of dermal fillers?

Safe and effective, injectable dermal fillers are either made from a naturally derived or synthetic substance.

Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers are made from naturally occurring substances. HA helps in keeping your skin plump and hydrated. Medical evidence suggests that HA fillers can naturally boost your body’s collagen production.

As we age, our bodies start producing less hyaluronic acid. This results in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds. HA fillers help boost the skin’s collagen production and reduce signs of ageing on the skin.

They create visible improvements to the structure, framework, and volume of the face. They can also promote the regeneration of skin cells, which can make the skin appear smoother and more radiant.

Collagen-stimulator Dermal Fillers

Collagen stimulating aims to increase the body’s production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and support to our skin, making it appear firm and youthful. With age, our natural collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles.
Unlike HA fillers, which use hyaluronic acid as their main ingredient, collagen stimulating fillers contain substances such as calcium hydroxylapatite or polylactic acid. These substances work by stimulating the body’s own collagen production, resulting in long-lasting improvements to the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

One of the key benefits of collagen stimulating fillers is their ability to provide gradual improvements over time rather than immediate results. This can be beneficial for individuals who prefer a more natural and subtle change in their appearance.

The Differences Between HA and Collagen Stimulating Face Fillers

While both HA and collagen stimulating face fillers can improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, there are some key differences between the two:

  • Ingredients: As mentioned before, HA fillers contain hyaluronic acid as their main ingredient while collagen stimulating fillers use substances such as calcium hydroxylapatite or polylactic acid.
  • Results: HA fillers typically provide immediate results, while collagen stimulating fillers may take several weeks to show improvement as they work by stimulating the body’s own collagen production.
  • Longevity: HA fillers last for 6-18 months on average, whereas collagen stimulating fillers can last for 2-3 years.

Which type of fillers is suitable for me?

In general, HA fillers may be more suitable for those looking for immediate results and a more obvious volumizing effect. HA fillers also work better in areas where rigid support is required, such as the jawline, nose,cheekbones and chin. They are also often recommended for first-time filler users as HA is the only material that can be dissolved by a doctor.

Collagen stimulating fillers may be a better option for individuals seeking longer-lasting results or those who prefer a gradual improvement in their appearance. They also work well in large areas such as the temples and forehead, especially when skin quality is poor and a dual benefit of revolumization and improvement in skin quality is desired.

Ultimately, both types of face fillers have their own benefits and can greatly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s important to do your research and consult with our doctor before making a decision.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

  1. Non-invasive Procedure
  • Dermal fillers are minimally invasive and do not require any incisions or anaesthesia. This means that there is minimal risk involved and little to no downtime after the treatment. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. 

  1. Long-lasting Results
  • Dermal fillers provide immediate results that can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on the type of filler used. This means that patients can enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for an extended period of time without needing frequent touch-ups or repeat treatments.

  1. Improves Skin Quality
  • In addition to filling in lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers also stimulate collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein responsible for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and youthful appearance. As we age, our collagen production decreases, leading to sagging and wrinkled skin. By boosting collagen levels, dermal fillers not only improve the appearance of wrinkles but also enhance overall skin quality.

  1. Customizable Treatment
  • Dermal fillers come in a variety of formulations and consistencies, allowing for a customizable treatment plan based on each individual’s specific needs. Whether it’s adding volume to thin lips or correcting deep lines around the mouth, there is a filler that can target each concern effectively.

  1. Natural-looking Results
  • One common misconception about dermal fillers is that they result in an unnatural or “plastic” appearance. However, when administered by a skilled and experienced professional, dermal fillers can provide subtle and natural-looking results. This is because fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the body and provides a soft and natural appearance when injected.

What to Expect During Dermal Fillers Treatment?

Initial treatment begins with a consultation as you meet with your aesthetic doctor. Make sure to discuss your goals and concerns. Often, dermal filler treatments are regarded as relatively painless procedures and the results are evident (albeit not fully) after receiving the filler injections.

What are the Steps for a Dermal Fillers Procedure?

The process for dermal fillers is quick and simple, as follows:

  • Facial Assessment & Mapping

Before performing filler injection, your aesthetic doctor will evaluate your facial structure and skin tone. They may place a mark and take images of the regions to be treated.

  • Cleansing & Anesthetizing

Before they insert the fillers, the injection sites will be cleansed with an antibacterial agent. Your doctor may use a very cold instrument to chill the skin, apply anaesthetic ointment, or inject local anaesthesia to help with the pain.

  • The Injection

Injecting the filler takes only a minute or so per site. This phase involves injecting, massaging, and evaluating the result.

  • Clean-Up & Recovering

Once the desired result is achieved, the treated area and all the markings will be cleansed. Mild swelling and tenderness may be felt but they should settle after a day or two. Make sure to follow aftercare instructions.

Face Fillers side effects

As with any aesthetic procedure, there are potential side effects that may occur after receiving dermal fillers. These include:

  • Mild swelling
  • Bruising
  • Redness or tenderness at the injection site
  • Temporary numbness or itching

These side effects are usually temporary and will subside within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects like infection, allergic reaction, or lumps and bumps may occur. It is important to consult with your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

Cost of Dermal Fillers in Singapore

There is a range of pricing usually depending on the filler brand and type of dermal filler.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can range from $300-$400 per syringe for Korean brand fillers to $600-1000 per syringe for more well-known brands such as Juvederm, Restylane and Teoxane.

Collagen stimulator fillers range from $1000-$1800 per syringe and include brands such as Ellanse, Lenisna, Radiesse,Sculptra, Aesthefill and Ultracol. 

Collagen fillers such as Deusaderm usually cost $1200-$1500 per syringe. 

Different Filler Brands and Its Uses

There are many brands in the market that may suit different needs. It’s therefore important to consult with a qualified doctor to determine the best treatment options for your specific needs. Results and suitability may vary from patient to patient based on individual conditions and goals.

How Long Does Juvederm/Restylane’s Results Last?

The duration of the effect of Juvederm fillers varies from person to person, and it depends on the person’s lifestyle, genetics, how quickly their body metabolises hyaluronic acid, and the type of Juvederm injection received.

Fillers for the lips and areas of the face with high mobility generally last shorter. In contrast, results generally last longer if the filler is injected in a more static part of the face. What is constant, however, is that fillers are still considered a temporary treatment that will require touch-ups in order to maintain its results at an optimal level.

Is Juvederm Safe?

Juvederm is FDA-approved and considered safe for use. Be sure to consult an experienced Ministry of Health-accredited aesthetic doctor to ensure safe and beautiful outcomes.

FAQs on Dermal Fillers

The best brand for dermal fillers depends on the individual’s needs and preferences.

Both Juvederm and Restylane are effective dermal fillers, and the choice between them depends on the specific needs of the patient.

Dermal fillers are temporary and require touch-ups in order to maintain results. The frequency of touch-ups may vary depending on individual factors.

 If you are not satisfied with the results of your dermal fillers, consult with your doctor about potential options for dissolving or adjusting the filler. It is important to communicate clearly with your doctor about your desired outcomes before receiving the treatment. 

After receiving dermal fillers, it is important to follow aftercare instructions given by your doctor. This may include avoiding certain activities and products for a period of time, as well as using ice or taking pain medication if needed. It is also recommended to schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to ensure proper healing and address any concerns.

While both fillers and botox are used for cosmetic purposes, they work in different ways. Botox relaxes facial muscles to reduce and prevent wrinkles, while fillers add volume and enhance facial features. Consult with your doctor to determine which option is best for you.
