Learn more about Dermal fillers - By: Felicity Lightbody

For people who are looking for a fast and less expensive method to rid them of wrinkles and facial lines, dermal fillers like Restylane and Botox may be the best option available. Dermal fillers became available in 1990 and in just ten years have become a very popular cosmetic procedure in reversing changes that are associated with aging. The main goal of dermal fillers is to return the dermis back to its original and youthful look, giving it a more natural appearance.

Dermal fillers can reduce or even eliminate wrinkles, raise depressions made from scars, enhance the lips and replace volume that has been lost in soft-tissues. It is injected just underneath the skin's surface without stretching the skin as many face lifts do; fillers provide volume. Common areas that are treated include smile lines, lines over the mouth, frown lines around the eyes and acne scars. Some types of dermal fillers include: Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Elevess, Sculpra, Cosmoderm and Artefill.

Even though the effect may be temporary, the treatment has many benefits.

1. Appointments are short, lasing between five and thirty minutes
2. Almost pain free
3. Minimally invasive
4. Usually very safe
5. Few complications
6. Side effects are uncommon
7. Risks are rare

Dermal fillers that are FDA-approved are safe when they are prescribed by a qualified and trained physician and are injected in the proper medical setting. The side effects associated with dermal fillers may include allergic reactions, reactivation of a herpes infection, swelling or redness at the site of injection, localized bruising, ulceration and occlusion. If a patient is concerned with hypersensitivity, a filler that is hyluronic acid based will be a better choice because this can be broken down if a bad reaction occurs using an Hyluronidase injection. Risks are rare with this type of procedure and can include, bruising, headache and a droopy eyelid.

Many doctors have agreed that the optimal age for receiving dermal fillers in the 40s and up to the early 50s, but all doctors have treated patients who were younger based on their particular expectations and situations.

There is a wide range when it comes to cost of different dermal fillers. Some are made to last longer and therefore, are most expensive. Others, used for different reasons, have a unique price of their own. Often times the price is determined by the number of vials or units used. The price may also be determined by area in which the patient lives and what physician is seen for the treatment. The more experience a physician has, it is more likely that he or she will charge more.

Because dermal fillers consist of a substance that is similar to the skin, the process that changes the skin will also change the implant. Eventually this implant will disappear; how long the treatment will last is different for everyone. It will depend on the skin's structure, lifestyle and age of the patient. Many patients will have touchup treatments performed within 6-12 months of their first treatment.
