Askin rejuvenation procedure is worth considering if you want more youthful skin but don’t want to undergo surgery. But with all the fillers on the market – and the advancements that have come since Collagen – it’s not always easy todetermine which product is best for you. Here’s a primer on today’s most popular cosmetic facial fillers and dermal fillers.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic fillers are gel-like products that have essentially replaced Collagen as the preferred facial rejuvenation method. Known for their safety and the longevity of their results, these fillers are injected into areas such as the naso-labial fold (laugh line) area, cheek, chin and lip regions. The areas around the eye have become a more populararea for hyaluronic acid fillers. A patient can typically expect results to last 4-12 months.

The three major hyaluronic acid fillers are Juvederm, Perlane and Restylane. Juvederm will smooth away wrinkles from the mouth, and will provide a youthfulappearance for as long as one year after your treatment date.

Restylane is the most effective choice if you want to enhance ...
... your lips and the surrounding area. Perlane, another product in the Restylane family, should be injected for similar results in places other than one’s lips.

Synthetic Fillers

Synthetic fillers are controversial because of the nature of the materials being injected. Products such as silicone and Articol and Radiance (collagen-synthetic material blends) are popular synthetic fillers. These fillers are used on a limited basis.The most well known synthetic filler is silicone, which has been around for more than 40 years, and has delivered mixed results and major complications if a problem arises. Consult your plastic surgeon before opting for synthetic filler.

Dermal Stimulators

The most popular dermal stimulator is Sculptra. A relative newcomer to the cosmetic filler world, Sculptra is made of biodegradable material that stimulates Collagen to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging for 2-4 years. Sculptra has become more popular recently because it provides relatively long-lasting results. Sculptra is best used in areas of the face where you need volume replacement, such as the cheek, chin, and underneath the eye areas.

Collagen Fillers

Collagen was once the gold standard for synthetic fillers, but today Collagen is no longer used today. If you’re considering any filler, consult your plastic surgeon to determine the best option.Both Dr. Applebaum and Sylvie Lemay-Levy recommend their patients choose hyaluronic acid fillers because of their longevity, ease of injection, and smaller risk for reactions.
