Types of Dermal Fillers in Nairobi Kenya
Temporary dermal fillers include the following:
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid (HA ) is a sugar naturally found in our skin which holds up to 1000 times its weight in water. This enables it to restore volume and smoothen lines and wrinkles resulting in plump and hydrated, radiant skin. Injected hylauronic acid filler effects last for 6 to 12 months. Examples include Juvederm, Restylane and Belotero.
Collagen
Calcium hydroxylapatite
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is also a naturally occurring substance found mainly in the bones. CaHA fillers are typically used for deeper lines and wrinkles and their effects usually last for upto 18 months. Calcium hydroxylapatite is also thought to stimulate collagen production. Examples include Radiesse.
Poly-l-lactic acid
Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible , biodegradable synthetic substance. It works as a collagen stimulator since it helps the skin rebuild its collagen. Poly-L-lactic acid is typically used to treat deeper facial wrinkles and its effects can last for more than 2 years. Examples include Sculptra.
Permanent dermal fillers include the following:
Polymethylmethacrelate (PMMA)
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a synthetic, biocompatible substance PMMA dermal fillers are “microspheres” or tiny balls that remains beneath the skin indefinitely to provide continued support. PMMA fillers may also contain collagen. Examples include Bellafill.
Hydrogen polymers
Autologous fat injections
Autologous fat or facial fat grafting involves using liposuction to harvest the patient’s own fat from their thighs, buttocks or stomach. This fat is then injected into the cheeks, temples, lower eyelids or other areas of the face to help restore volume. Additional fat purification steps can be done in the lab but they are costly and time-consuming. A series of injections may need to be done over time. Since the fat comes from the patient’s body, there is no risk of an allergic reaction. Autologous fat filler effects last for 3 or more years.
Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma is also used as an autologous wrinkle filler or volumizer. In this procedure blood is drawn from the arm, centrifuged and then injected into the face. The effects of this “vampire lift” can last 12 to 18 months. Since the blood comes from the patient’s body, there is no risk of an allergic reaction.
