What are Wrinkle Fillers?

I heard a lot of people mentioning about using wrinkle fillers as a wrinkle treatment. They say that it is one of the best treatments for wrinkles out there. But what are these, really?

As I have understood, wrinkle fillers are substances or compounds that are being used to fill in the “empty spaces” within the skin layers, which could result (if not treated) to a sagged wrinkled skin, thus, they are called wrinkle fillers. These are used to lift cheeks, fill out thin lips, reduce facial lines and even for plumping sagged skins.

Upon further readings, I found out that there are a lot of wrinkle fillers out there in that market. But the most common one is the collagen. There are doctors who are using synthetic materials, hyaluronic acids or your own body fat as fillers. These substances are then injected into the concerned area.

The advantage of this wrinkle treatment is that it is a fast and easy type of cure. Its effect could also be observed instantly. However, this treatment is said to last from 4 months to more than a year. Some even say that by undergoing this treatment several times could actually trigger the natural response of the body to naturally produce more collagen for the skin.

Consequently, this treatment is prone for allergic reactions especially for those who have sensitive skins. Side effects like redness, bruising and swelling at the injection site are sometimes experienced by some people. Also, others could observe tiny bumps beneath the skin from the injected fillers.

Undergoing to this kind of wrinkle treatment should not be done without proper advice from a doctor. Each of us has different skin types that must be perfectly considered in choosing the right kind of wrinkle filler to be used.
