What Is a Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used in cosmetic procedures to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These versatile treatments have revolutionized non-surgical facial rejuvenation, offering patients a way to achieve a more youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery. Dr. Erhan Güneri, a skilled practitioner in aesthetic medicine, utilizes dermal fillers as part of his comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
The primary purpose of dermal fillers is to address various signs of aging and enhance facial aesthetics. They can be used to:
- Fill in deep wrinkles and fine lines
- Restore volume to hollow areas of the face
- Enhance lip fullness and definition
- Improve facial symmetry
- Augment cheek and chin contours
- Soften the appearance of scars
Dermal fillers work by being injected into specific areas of the face, where they add volume beneath the skin surface. This additional volume helps to lift and support the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and creating a more youthful appearance. The effects of dermal fillers are immediate, with results typically lasting several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated.
Types Of Dermal Fillers
There are several types of dermal fillers available, each with its own unique properties and best-suited applications. Dr. Erhan Güneri carefully selects the most appropriate filler type based on the patient’s individual needs, desired outcomes, and the specific area being treated. The main categories of dermal fillers include:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers:
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers:
- Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers:
- Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Fillers:
- Autologous Fat Transfer:
Dr. Güneri carefully evaluates each patient’s facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine the most suitable type of dermal filler. In many cases, a combination of different filler types may be used to achieve optimal results in various facial areas. The choice of filler also depends on factors such as the depth of injection required, the desired longevity of results, and the specific characteristics of the treatment area.
It’s important to note that while dermal fillers can provide significant improvements in facial aesthetics, the results are temporary for most types of fillers. Regular maintenance treatments are typically necessary to sustain the desired effects. Dr. Erhan Güneri works closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and helps them achieve their aesthetic goals safely and effectively.
