Some interesting facts about dermal fillers

Some of them are natural enhancers

Dermal fillers are made of collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA) which are both naturally occurring substances in the body, aiding to keep the skin looking healthy and young. The natural enhancement products are safe and most suitable for a wide range of clients. Dermal filler comprises hyaluronic acid and is intended to plump the skin, improving areas with a lack of volume by restoring fullness to the area. At Aesthetic Academy Asia, we train doctors and dentist to understand the different type of fillers, injection planes, depth and different injection techniques.

Frequently men are concerned about looking exhausted and aging, so dermal fillers are the ideal therapy to maintain a youthful appearance. We also will coach you on how to differentiate between male and female facial enhancement features.  

Some fillers stimulate collagen production

As you get older, the body's development of collagen slows down, resulting in skin laxity and fine lines and wrinkles. Most filler products are made of hyaluronic acid, which normally plump up the skin by their water trapping properties, However, certain dermal filler products, such as polylactic acid, PMMA and polycaprolactone when injected, can generate fresh collagen fibers within the skin to further boost its plump and youthful appearance.  

When they are injected, it will transform as you age

As aging occurs, your skin and its formation are directly affected by the injection of dermal filler products. Aging effects in the facial shape starting to be decent inwardly and downward – fat pads will drop, and our appearance can often shrink due to the lack of collagen production which helps in elasticity. Areas like temples and tear troughs will help recover volume that was lost over time. Dermal fillers are one of the least invasive cosmetic treatment options. Minimum downtime is implicated as the needle used is very thin. Clients can often go back to work immediately or within one to two hours of having a dermal filler procedure done.  

Are dermal fillers painful?

Maybe there is a slight uneasiness while the filler is injected into the face. But it is minimized by applying an anesthetic lotion prior to treatment. In order to provide even more relaxation and relieve as much pain as possible, the fillers contain a pre-mixed general anesthetic. Some fillers are formulated with lidocaine (a numbing medication) which can significantly decrease any pain that may occur at the time of injection. At Aesthetic Academy Asia we provide professional training so that you can handle your patients by employing advanced techniques before, during, and after your treatment at every stage.
