The effect and benefits of using cream fillers for the face

At the business-class aesthetic medicine center GMTClinic, the best fillers on the market are at your service. To be included in the range of services of our center, all of them passed a strict selection on the following points:

• availability of all necessary international and federal certificates;
• effectiveness and safety confirmed by clinical trials;
• a history of success in the cosmetology and aesthetic medicine market for at least 5 years.

The drugs differ in the concentration of hyaluronic acid, viscosity, type of binding agent, and, as a consequence, the characteristics of the “behavior” of the drug when administered, the degree of naturalness and durability of the result. It is not at all necessary for the patient to understand these subtleties; it is enough not to make a mistake in choosing a medical center and a doctor. You will find prices for all medications used in the Clinic at the bottom of the page.

How does the procedure work?

1. Consultation. It eliminates contraindications to the procedure and determines the drug that will be used. Typically, facial correction requires two syringes of filler.
2. Skin cleansing. The doctor or nurse removes makeup and impurities from the surface of the skin.
3. Application of anesthesia. Some fillers contain lidocaine, but many patients require anesthetic cream to be applied before filler injections.
4. Administration of the drug. Hyaluronic filler is usually injected into the tissue using a cannula, a flexible needle with a rounded tip. This contributes to minimal tissue trauma and faster healing. By distributing the filler under the skin, the doctor will create harmonious, symmetrical, youthful proportions that will noticeably refresh your appearance. At the same time, we always preserve the individual characteristics of the patient’s appearance, without altering it, but only improving what is given by nature.
5. Repeated antiseptic treatment of the skin. The doctor then applies a skin soothing agent.
6. Receiving recommendations from a cosmetologist.

Biosynthetic fillers

They are compositions of synthetic components that are compatible with the body. Such preparations are produced on the basis of calcium hydroxyapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polycaprolactone. They are quite durable and are an ideal option when there is a tendency to swelling. The degradation of fillers is slow and uniform. However, biosynthetic fillers are not without significant drawbacks. Such drugs can provoke allergic reactions. In addition, over time, filler is able to move in tissues and make the skin texture lumpy. Most synthetic fillers are aimed at older patients. Such fillers also require the specialist to have perfect mastery of the technique.

The rating of the best facial fillers for this group of drugs is headed by: Sculptra, Ellanse, Radiesse.

Elance

The main component of this biosynthetic filler is polycaprolactone. There are also preparations based on hyaluronic and polylactic acids. The risk of rejection of the administered composition or an allergic reaction to it is minimized. Ellance is used to correct age-related changes after 30 years, as well as to correct imperfections or asymmetry of certain areas of the face, and lip augmentation. The drug is suitable for eliminating scars and scars. The effect of using Ellance can last from 1 to 4 years. The injection activates collagen production. However, the use of filler requires a highly qualified cosmetologist. The slightest mistakes during administration cause side effects. The disadvantages of the drug produced in Holland also include its high cost.

Average price: 15,000 rub.

Sculptra

A French-made product for skin rejuvenation based on polylactic acid. Not only acts as a filler, but also promotes the synthesis of its own collagen. Sculptra is used to smooth out wrinkles of varying depths, correct the shape of the nose, correct the oval of the face, replenish the deficit of tissue volume in various areas (lips, cheekbones, cheeks), for polishing scars. The drug is intended for patients over 35 years of age. Validity period: at least 2 years. Sculptra has a number of features. The filler is not suitable for smoothing out fine wrinkles. It also does not combine with other fillers. There are side effects in the form of redness, swelling, and subcutaneous thickening.

Average price: 17,000 rub.

Radiesse

One of the most popular synthetic fillers based on calcium hydroxyapatite from Germany. It is characterized by low allergenicity. Radiesse is used not only in cosmetology, but also in dentistry and surgery. In aesthetic medicine, it is used to correct nasolabial folds, cheeks, cheekbones, and lift temples. Radiesse is also suitable for the décolleté area, as well as for eliminating scars. This is an ideal drug for older patients. However, Radiesse is not suitable for thin and sensitive skin, lip augmentation, smoothing wrinkles under the eyes and correcting the shape of the nose. If administered incorrectly, there is a high risk of tubercles forming. Side effects persist for a long time.

Average price: from 6000 rub.

Recovery period

After the procedure, the skin may appear red and swollen.
This is a normal reaction to filler injection. Bruises may appear at the injection sites - this depends on the individual characteristics, as well as on the day of the cycle. If you come for contouring during your period, keep in mind that the procedure will be more painful and there will be more bruises. Usually hematomas completely resolve within 2-7 days.

During recovery, you should not touch your face with dirty hands, steam the skin, massage your face or apply cold compresses. It is better to avoid drinking alcohol, going to the pool and solarium. Sunbathing is not allowed. When leaving home, apply a high SPF factor to your skin.

Review of gel fillers for contouring and lip augmentation

The result of the contouring procedure, including lip correction, directly depends on the quality and manufacturer of the filler gel ( from the English fill - fill ).

Our clinic’s choice in favor of one filler or another is strictly justified. We are guided by the following criteria:

• safety - ideal biocompatibility with body tissues; absence of allergic reactions; quality of crosslinking of hyaluronic acid molecules, etc.;
• efficiency - the ability to obtain a predictable and desired result; aesthetically acceptable and beautiful result;
• social responsibility of the brand to doctors and patients: the volume of clinical studies conducted on product safety and its effectiveness; the company's level of investment in research and development; availability of direct medical representatives of the manufacturer on site, etc.

Based on the listed criteria, we made a choice in favor of fillers from four well-known brands:

1. Juvederm;
2. Filorga;
3. Belotero;
4. Princess.

Now let's talk in more detail about each of them.

Princess, Croma (Austria)

Princess fillers ( “Brand of the Year” - 2009 at the exhibition in Monaco ) were developed by the large pharmaceutical corporation Croma (Austria). They are created on the basis of hyaluronic acid of non-biological origin.

Princess gels can be used not only after thirty years of age to correct wrinkles, but also to correct and enlarge lips in very young patients.

In the synthesis of Princess fillers, innovative SMART technology was used, which made the consistency of the gels extremely homogeneous. T.n. An intelligent filler system allows them to penetrate into the structures of the skin layer where the gels are injected. Hyaluronic acid in gels is represented by long molecules with cross-links; the preparations have increased viscosity - this allows the tissues to keep their shape well and not spread.

Princess Filler (1 ml) is indicated for replenishing small amounts of tissue (correction of nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the eyes and in the corners of the lips, neck wrinkles, volume of the hands, facial modeling), injected into the middle and superficial layers of the dermis. It costs eight months.

Princess Volume (1 ml) is denser, it is indicated for volumetric contouring: replenishing lost tissue volumes and restoring facial contours. They restore the volume and contours of the cheeks, cheekbones, chin and lips, reduce deep nasolabial folds, and correct atrophic scars. Princess Volume is especially appreciated by older patients for its ability to restore seemingly irretrievably lost volumes to facial tissues. The gel lasts from eight to twelve months.

Belotero, Merz Pharma (Switzerland, Germany)

Belotero fillers are the latest generation monophasic gel fillers produced by the pharmaceutical company Merz Pharma (Switzerland, Germany).

Belotero Soft filler (1 ml) is an excellent product of choice for the correction and bio-reinforcement of wrinkles in particularly delicate areas (fine wrinkles around the lips, under the eyes and in the crow’s feet area, nasolacrimal groove, neck, arms and décolleté).

Belotero Balance filler (1 ml) is ideal for increasing lip volume, correcting nasolabial folds, forehead wrinkles, and wrinkles around the lips. Another option is correction of shallow scars.

Belotero Intense filler (1 ml) lasts in tissues for up to twelve months. It has a cross-linked structure and retains moisture well. It is used to increase the volume of the lips and to fill deep wrinkles in the décolleté and neck, forehead, cheeks and chin.

Juvederm, Allergan (USA)

Juvederm products are manufactured in France by Allergan (USA); These premium fillers are deservedly considered the flagships in the world of gels based on hyaluronic acid.

We use two lines of drugs: Ultra and Vycross (and biorevitalizant Hydrate, but that's a slightly different story).

The Ultra line of preparations are preparations of stabilized hyaluronic acid (they also contain lidocaine).

Juvederm Ultra 3 (1 ml) is used for the correction of deep and medium wrinkles and lip augmentation, for facial contouring.

Juvederm Ultra Smile (0.55 ml) is used to correct fine wrinkles around the lips, as well as to correct the shape of the lips. The drug of choice for those who enlarge lips for the first time.

Juvederm Ultra 4 (1 ml) is used to correct deep wrinkles, correct the shape of the face, cheekbones and chin, and correct the lips.

The Vycross line of gels is a new generation of gels based on hyaluronic acid, in which there are twice as many cross-links (they also contain lidocaine for pain relief).

Juvederm Voluma filler (1 ml) was developed to fill the missing volumes: returning youthful volume to the cheekbones, cheeks, creating volume in the chin area.

Juvederm Volift filler (1 ml) is designed to correct facial contours and fill nasolabial folds.

Juvederm Volift Retouch filler (0.5 ml) is Volift gel in 0.5 ml syringes (smaller correction volumes).

Filorga, IPSEN (USA, France)

Filorga premium filler gels are produced by the permanent (since 1978!) leader in the sector of high-tech cosmetic injectable preparations, the French company Filorga.

Filler X-HA 3 (1 ml) - recommended for filling nasolabial folds and wrinkles of any depth, including eyebrow folds, for correcting purse-string wrinkles, for replenishing insufficient tissue volume in the corners of the mouth and for increasing lip volume and correcting their asymmetry.

Filler X-HA Volume (1 ml) – more dense and viscous; Accordingly, it can be used to restore missing volumes of the face (cheekbones, lips, cheeks, chin), perform facial contouring, correct nasolacrimal grooves and nasolabial folds.

The final choice of filler remains with the cosmetologist, taking into account the characteristics of your face and the desired result.

Biodegradable fillers

These include products consisting of synthetic components, such as silicone.

The disadvantages of drugs in this group also include allergenicity, the formation of compactions or depressions under the skin, and migration of the filler. It must be said that due to the large number of side effects, bionon-degradable fillers are now rarely used in cosmetology, giving way to safer drugs for correcting aesthetic imperfections and rejuvenating the face.

Composition of cream filler

The main substances that most filler creams contain are:

• collagen;
• silicone;
• hyaluronic acid.

The first component is responsible for skin elasticity. Without it, the top layer of the skin dries out and becomes thinner, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles. Silicone gives the skin a velvety, silky feel, visually smoothes and evens out its surface, filling in wrinkles.

Silicone also creates a protective thin film on the surface of the skin, which reduces the negative impact of the environment. Hyaluronic acid reliably retains water in the layers of the epidermis, providing the skin with sufficient hydration. In addition, hyaluronic acid restores skin tone, smoothes wrinkles and improves complexion.

Cream filler, what it is and how it affects the skin is clearly shown in the figure.

Elastin is often added to filler creams. This substance works effectively in tandem with the main components of the cream, helping to keep the skin firm and elastic. It also moisturizes the upper layer of the epidermis and participates in the regeneration of damaged areas.

Filler creams also include beneficial substances important for the skin, in particular extracts of medicinal plants, vitamins, oils and even reflective particles that visually enhance the effect of refreshed and rejuvenated skin.

The main effect of filler creams

The main task of a filler cream is to fill the aging epidermis with the necessary substances that allow the skin to remain externally fresh, smooth and rejuvenated.

Due to its composition, cream filler:

• fills wrinkles, making them visually minimally expressed and shallow;
• effectively and instantly masks the external signs of skin aging, giving a younger look to the face;
• restores lost skin tone and elasticity;
• allows you to restart processes aimed at regenerating the epithelium;
• helps refresh the tone and significantly improve the overall condition of the skin;
• can serve as a good replacement for a base for decorative cosmetics, extending its durability.

Cream filler to eliminate deep wrinkles

The work of the filler cream to eliminate deep wrinkles is aimed at visual correction of the skin affected by age-related changes. In addition, the cream filler enriches the epidermis with important microcomponents and has a lifting effect.

The main effect of this product is to smooth out wrinkles. Externally, the skin becomes smooth and velvety. The face acquires a fresh color, and the skin regains its elasticity, making it look significantly younger.

Cream filler is a universal product that can be applied either spot-on, paying attention to problem areas, or all over the face. For best effect, the skin should be moisturized before applying the product.

• Mary Kay Repair Volu-Fill TimeWise;
