Medical Video: Women Get Lip Injections For The First Time
Filler injections have recently become a trend to enhance physical appearance, whether it's to strengthen Kylie Jenner's lips, accentuate cheekbones, evenremove fine lines and wrinkles on the face to look youthful. In addition to the quick process and the results can be immediately seen, this method is favored because of minimal side effects. Now before you go to the dermatologist to get the filler, make sure you know the types of filler fluids used and their uses so that the end result is what you dreamed of.
Various types of filler syringes, plus uses and consideration of risks
The type of liquid injected has a different way of working to produce the promised filler results. What are the most popular ones used?
1. Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular filler syringes because it rarely causes severe side effects.
Hyaluronic acid is an artificial version of the same natural compound found in every human body - found in many clear layers of the eye, joint connective tissue, and skin. Hyalurinic acid stimulates the production of natural collagen to help maintain skin moisture, prevent oil clogging in the pore that causes zits, to disguise fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Examples of hyaluronic acid commonly used in filler syringes are HylaForm, Juvederm Voluma XC, XC Juvederm, Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Volbella XC, and Restylane. How long the results of hyaluronic acid injections last a long time vary depending on how many times you inject.
Although there are minimal serious side effects, filler fluids using HA can leak and clot under the skin like a lump.
2. Collagen
Injectable collagen fillers use collagen liquid extracted from cow collagen. Collagen injections look more natural, but unfortunately do not last long.Most collagen injections begin to disappear a month after being injected into the face. In addition, collagen also often triggers an allergic reaction because it is made from animals.
Collagen for injectable fillers that are widely used in the world of beauty consists of several types such as Cosmoderm, Evolution, Fibrel, Zyderm, and Zyplast.
3. Using body fat (Autologous)
If collagen injections are obtained from bovine collagen extracts, autologous filler injections use fat reserves from your own body - usually takenfrom the thighs, buttocks or even the stomach, which will be injected back into the face.The results are semi-permanent, so you may need to go back and forth to inject regularly to keep your face looking youthful.
The risk of side effects of autologous injections is the same as injecting fillers in general, namely reddish swelling at the injection site that will deflate over time. This is nothing to worry about. But because this procedure requires transfer of fat from one limb to another,many health experts and doctors forbid the use of injectable filler fats because of the risk of causing latent danger.
4. Silicon
The price of injecting liquid silicone is indeed more affordable than injecting HA fillers. The results are also more durable. Filler like HA Restylane and collagen can only last up to six months, while silicone fillers can last a lifetime. Examples of silicone injections are Bellafill, Radiesse, Sculptra, Silicon.
Liquid silicon has a consistency similar to motor oil. When injected into the skin, the body's immune system will react to the substance by wrapping it with the body's natural collagen. This new collagen will permanently thicken the skin.
However, injecting liquid silicone is still one of the most controversial beauty methods in the field of cosmetic surgery. This is not without reason. Because the results are permanent, the side effects of silicone injections, although rare, can also be permanent. One of the most feared complications is the formation of silicone granulomas, aka siliconoma, which occur due to leakage of silicon in the surrounding body tissues and produce an inflammatory reaction.
Other side effects include the appearance of lumps under the skin. In rare cases, the lump can only be removed surgically. When silicone is injected the wrong way or in the wrong place, injecting this filler can cause facial damage.
In fact, the FDA's drug and food regulatory agency in the United States does not approve the use of injectable liquid silicone or gel to remove wrinkles or enlarge any limb. The FDA limits silicone injections only to breast implants, both for cosmetic reasons and breast reconstruction procedures after breast cancer surgery.
