RESTORATION.
Hyaluronic acid injectable fillers are the most widely used soft tissue fillers to treat facial volume deficits, providing long-term facial aesthetic enhancement outcomes for the signs of aging and/or facial contouring.(1)
Soft tissue fillers are a minimally invasive aesthetic medicine procedure used to improve or create volume, to remodel the contours of the face and fill in wrinkles and deep folds.(2)
Common areas to inject fillers are in the face, neck and décolleté, this results in a fuller, smoother and more youthful appearance. Fillers are among the most popular aesthetic medical procedures because they carry immediate results, minimal risks and little recovery time.(2)
Their main indications are the filling of wrinkles and folds, and the correction of soft tissue loss due to disease or age. Increasingly, fillers are used for volume replacement and enhancement procedures, this includes cheek and chin augmentation, tear trough correction, nose reshaping, mid-facial volumisation, lip enhancement, neck and décolleté rejuvenation and the correction of facial asymmetry.
CLASSIFICATION
Origin and composition
Fillers may be classified depending on their source as:
- autologous (e.g., fat, cultured human fibroblasts).(2,4)
- collagen (bovine-derived, human-derived from tissue culture). Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that adds strength and structure to the skin.(2,4)
- hyaluronic acid (HA) (non-animal stabilised or viscoelastic HA from bacterial fermentation). Like collagen, hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance and primarily used to promote fullness and volume as it attracts water.(2,4)
- synthetic or pseudo-synthetic implants (silicone, polymethacrylate microspheres, poly-L-lactic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in aqueous polysaccharide gel, alkyl-imide gel polymer).(2,4)
DURATION
Depending on their permanence in the body, fillers can be classified as temporary, semi-permanent, and permanent. The first two classes have a different time of duration in the tissue due to the reabsorption, while the permanent fillers are not absorbable.
- Temporary fillers stay in the tissue for less than a year; they have a temporary effect because they contain materials that are absorbed by the body over time(3). Examples are: fillers based on collagen, hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite(2).
- Semi-permanent fillers stay in the tissue for up to 1–2 years.(3) Longer-lasting fillers typically contain substances such as the absorbable synthetic filler known as poly-L-lactic acid.(2)
- Permanent fillers are substances that remain in the tissue more than two years.(3) Permanent fillers are made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which are microspheres that are not absorbed by the body.(2)
