Almasi Skincare offers non injectable fillers in Nairobi Kenya to improve the appearance of your skin.
What are Fillers?
Fillers are substances used to fill creases in wrinkles and depressions in the skin. They are divided into injectable and non-injectable fillers.
Injectable fillers are those which are injected into the skin and they have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe face wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm) is the most common injectable filler used for wrinkles. Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) and lactic acid (Sculptra) are also used as injectable fillers.
Non injectable fillers are fillers which are applied on the skin to treat lines and wrinkles.
Benefits of Non Injectable Fillers in Nairobi Kenya
The benefits of non injectable fillers are as follows:
1. They do not need to be injected into the skin.
Traditional fillers like Restylane and Juvederm contain hyaluronic acid in large molecules which have to be injected into the skin. The non injectable fillers we use at Almasi Skincare also contain hyaluronic acid however it is in small molecules which can penetrate the skin when applied on it and it therefore does not need to be injected. This makes it a great plus for persons who do not like injections.
2. They can be used at home.
Non injectable fillers can be used at home after the initial visit to the Doctor or Aesthetician. This is because they are applied on the skin and they come with a precision applicator which ensures the right dosage is used.
3. They are less expensive.
Non injectable fillers are less expensive than traditional injectable fillers because they do not need to be administered by a doctor or an aesthetician.
4. Non injectable fillers do not need down time.
Persons who use non injectable fillers do not need to take several days away from their work like those who have skin rejuvenation procedures like chemical peels.
Disadvantages of Non Injectable Fillers
The disadvantages of non injectable fillers are as follows:
1. They give weaker results.
The skin has 3 layers – the topmost epidermis, the dermis which is directly below it and the hypodermis which is below the dermis. Injectable fillers which contain hyaluronic acid are injected into the dermis where they exert their effects.
Non injectable fillers do not penetrate through the epidermis to reach the deeper layers of the skin. Their effects are therefore less dramatic when compared to those achieved the fillers are injected deep into the skin.
2. Their effects last for a shorter duration.
The effects of injectable fillers last for 4 to 6 months while those of non injectable fillers last for 3 to 4 months.
3. They require commitment.
Using non injectable fillers requires dedication since they have to be applied on the skin every day for 14 days. Injectable fillers on the other hand only require a visit to the Doctor or Aesthetician every 4 to 6 months.
