Dermal fillers are injection treatments used to diminish wrinkles, restore fullness, or make subtle changes.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps provide hydration, fullness, and elasticity.1 It diminishes as we age, causing skin to lose volume while increasing the chances for wrinkles and folds to appear.
Dermal fillers use clear gel formulations of HA. As the original non-animal stabilized HA filler, Restylane was designed to be closest to the body’s own hyaluronic acid with minimal crosslinking.
People who are not familiar with aesthetic treatments may have the misconception that fillers look fake. Maybe they have seen inexpertly performed treatments and think that’s simply what fillers always look like.
The fact is that most people desire a natural-looking result. A natural-looking result is also what qualified healthcare practitioners prefer. But what is a natural-looking result when it comes to facial aesthetics?
Horror stories in the media and general confusion regarding facial aesthetics are likely the reasons why some people think fillers contain poison or bad synthetic materials.
Fillers are, as the name indicates, used to fill – to fill out a wrinkle or add a bit of volume in the face, for example to compensate for the volume loss that often occurs with age. The question is however, for those of us new to aesthetic treatments, what material do you use when you fill?
In the early days of facial aesthetics, in the 1940s and 1950s, doctors injected silicon.1 At that time, 60-70 years ago, they actually did use synthetic materials as the major component. But that was quite some time ago.
Another misconception, or fear, is that fillers are permanent so that if you’re not happy with your treatment you’ll be stuck with it forever. As has been explained above, the body will eventually degrade the filler, even if it has been crosslinked.
How long it will last can differ from person to person, and also depends on where the filler is injected (it tends to degrade faster in moveable areas such as the lips) as well as on the type of filler.
If you are new to aesthetic treatments, you might associate fillers with lips and cheeks. On the contrary, fillers are very versatile, perhaps the most versatile of all facial aesthetics procedures there is.
Fillers can be used to create shape and structure, for example in the chin. They can be used to enhance facial contours and to add soft volume and fullness to our facial features. Fillers can also be used to fill out wrinkles and folds and to reduce hollowness under the eyes.
Now that all these misconceptions have been answered, maybe you feel inclined to learn more about fillers and what they can do for you?
Today, almost all fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, a natural water-binding molecule that can be found in our skin, joints, eyes and other tissues. It keeps our tissues lubricated and flexible.
Although fillers are based on a natural substance, there’s still a small part that is synthetic – the crosslinker BDDE (1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether). If you inject hyaluronic acid as it is, the body will degrade the filler gel in a few days. To make the filler gel last longer, it must be stabilized using a crosslinking technology. For this, the synthetic crosslinker BDDE is used.
What about BDDE, is it bad for you? This has been studied, as well as how the hyaluronic acid in fillers is broken down by the body. The studies found that the filler (including BDDE) is broken down into harmless byproducts or byproducts that are identical to substances already found in the skin.
Remember that you could still get a side effect from a filler treatment. Therefore, you should always consult a qualified healthcare practitioner who can explain expected results as well as potential side effects.
