Rellenar las arrugas para recuperar un rostro más joven con rellenos inyectables puede ser una solución mucho más económica que un lifting facial. La mayoría pueden rellenar arrugas y líneas de expresión en menos de 30 minutos con resultados que pueden llegar a durar de 4 meses a más de un año.
Los rellenos faciales inyectables al contrario que las inyecciones de Botox, que relajan el músculo que origina la arruga, rellenan la línea o el área con una o varias substancias diferentes. Como resultado, problema resuelto. Se difuminan las arrugas temporalmente.
También suelen utilizarse para dar volumen, engordando y levantando pómulos, mejillas, mentón, rellenando labios finos y rejuveneciendo manos, etc.
El tratamiento es fácil y rápido pero tiene su lado negativo, incluyendo el riesgo de alergias y la formación de pequeños bultos bajo la piel.
En algunos casos esos bultos pueden llegar a ser permanentes. En ocasiones la piel puede tornarse de otro color, lo que puede durar varios meses, aunque existen varios métodos para remediarlo.
Raramente se puede dar el caso de que células de la piel mueran si los rellenos no son aplicados correctamente. Se han reportado casos de ceguera y parálisis de nervios.
Generalmente son los rellenos con más duración o permanencia los que suelen tener más efectos secundarios.
RELLENOS SINTETICOS
Esta categoría de rellenos de arrugas incluye substancias elaboradas en laboratorio que no tienen nada en común con la piel.
Los productos de este grupo tienen efectos secundarios parecidos, como enrojecimiento, inflamación o amoratamiento en la zona inyectada. Otros efectos secundarios incluirían nódulos o bultos bajo la piel que se aprecian y se perciben y que raramente necesitan cirugía para ser extraídos.
The benefits include a longer-lasting effect. And at least one filler offers permanent filling of lines and creases. Remember, products with longer-lasting effects are more likely to cause side effects. And when not used correctly, synthetic wrinkle fillers may cause disfigurement.
Synthetic wrinkle fillers include:
- Radiesse
- Sculptra
- Silicone
Collagen Wrinkle Fillers
Scientists made the first wrinkle fillers from a purified form of collagen extracted mostly from cows. Although it worked well and offered a natural-looking fill, the results didn't last long. Most collagen injections began to break down as early as 1 month after treatment. Because these wrinkle fillers were made from an animal source, they also had a higher rate of allergic reaction and required allergy testing beforehand.
New ways of processing the collagen have helped lower the risks. Plus, new forms of synthetic collagens are making these injections safer and more useful to a wider range of people. Although the results don't last as long as other wrinkle fillers, many believe the results are more natural looking.
Side effects of collagen injections include some risk of allergic reaction (mostly for those still using cow sources), as well as bruising and redness at the site of the injection.
Collagen injections include:
- ArteFill
- Cosmoderm
- Evolence
- Fibrel
- Zyderm
- Zyplast
Autologous Wrinkle Fillers
Fat is the most commonly used substance in this category. Your own fat is surgically removed from your thighs, buttocks, or stomach, treated, then injected. You will need to have two procedures (one to remove the fat and one to inject it). Both procedures can be done in one visit. Additional fat purification steps done in the lab can be costly and time-consuming. Results can be semi-permanent, although you may need a series of injections done over time.
Platelet-rich plasma injections (“vampire lift”) are another type of autologous wrinkle filler/volumizer. Blood is drawn from the arm, treated, then injected into the face. The effects can last 12 to 18 months.
Risks are similar to other wrinkle fillers, including bruising, redness, and swelling at the site of the injection. Because the fillers come from your body, these injections do not require FDA approval.
Minimizing Risks and Increasing Good Outcomes for All Wrinkle Fillers
Wrinkle fillers are among the safest cosmetic procedures in use today. But there are things you can do to help ensure your treatment is safe:
- Don't let price be your guide. If you are offered a wrinkle filler treatment that costs far less than the standard treatment, it's likely some compromises are being made, either in the skill of the provider or the quality of the product. Never risk making a bargain with your face.
- All wrinkle fillers should be done in a medical setting with sterile instruments. Treatments done in homes, hotels, spas, or resorts are not being done in medical environments, regardless of who is doing them.
- Do not get injectable wrinkle fillers from sources outside a doctor's office. Know what you are being injected with, and ask your doctor if an FDA-approved wrinkle filler is being used and if it was purchased directly from the maker. There have been reports of everything from industrial-grade silicone to baby oil being used. If a provider won't give you this information, don't let them do the procedure.
- Use sunscreen daily to help preserve the filler and help protect against post-inflammatory pigment changes due to the needle sticks from injections.
