HA Fillers

Facial filler or dermal fillers are gels used for the purpose of filling up an area with lost volume. The lost volume could be from loss of deep or superficial fat or loss of collagen and hydration from the skin it self, which makes the overlying skin loose, hanging, wrinkled, thin and lack of glow. Broadly the fillers can be categorized as Hyaluronic acid like restylane/juvederm/versa/bolletero, collagen generating like sculptra aesthetics/Bellafill and calcium based Radiesse. Hyaluronic acid (HA) Filler and Radiesse are discussed here. 

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers

HA is a normal constituent of the skin and deeper tissue, which primarily gives the firm, full and radiant appearance of the skin. HA in the skin and soft tissues are metabolized very quickly and half life is about a day in the skin and a few mins in the soft tissues. A major part of the skin aging depends on how quick the metabolism is and the final content in the skin. HA fillers have special side links which holds strands of the HA polymers together and thus increase the life of the polymers in the skin. Depending on the amount of the side links and process used to create makes these gels firmer or softer, elastic or particulate, shorter or longer lasting, more or less swelling. These characteristics are used in deciding the type of the HA filler for use of rejuvenation of the tissue. Below major HA fillers will be discussed.
