Beautification With Dermal Fillers
By Dr. Keyanna Emamian
Beautification in the aesthetic world involves using injectable dermal fillers to enhance and refine various facial features for a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
This can include 3 major ways.
First by adding volume, for example to the lips, cheeks, or temples or it can be by smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines with a lower G prime hyaluronic acid filler and finally by face contouring and defining with higher G prime hyaluronic acid fillers.
What is G prime?
G prime is one of the key rheological properties of dermal filler. It refers to the viscosity and elasticity of the product. Essentially, it's a rating that indicates how runny and pliable a filler is. Lower G prime gives a softer filler.
Face contouring with dermal fillers means using this technique to enhance and reshape facial features and to create a more balanced face. Common areas for face contouring with fillers include the cheeks, jawline, chin, and temples.
The number of fillers required for face contouring depends on several factors, including the specific areas being treated, the extent of contouring desired, and the individual’s facial anatomy and goals. Some people may only need one syringe of filler for subtle enhancement, while others may require multiple syringes for more significant changes.
It is typically performed by qualified and experienced aesthetic and anti-aging physician, who can assess your facial anatomy and goals to determine the best approach for achieving your desired results.
Keep in mind that results are temporary and may require maintenance treatments over time. Filler longevity depends on several factors, including:
- Type of Filler: Different types of fillers have varying durations of effectiveness. For example, hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, while more robust fillers like calcium hydroxyl apatite such as Radiesse can last up to 12 months or longer.
- Injection Site: Areas with more movement, such as the lips, tend to break down filler more quickly than less mobile areas like the cheeks.
- Metabolism: Individual metabolic rates can affect how quickly the body breaks down and absorbs the filler.
- Lifestyle Factors: Lifestyle habits such as smoking, sun exposure, and skincare routines can impact filler longevity.
- Volume and Depth of Injection: The amount and depth of filler injected can affect how long it lasts. Deeper injections may last longer than superficial ones.
- Body's Response: Each person's body may react differently to filler, leading to variations in how long it lasts.
- Product Quality and Technique: The quality of the filler product and the skill of the injector can also influence longevity.
It's essential to discuss these factors with your physician during the consultation to set realistic expectations and develop a personalized treatment plan.
