Why Fillers?! As time passes, facial fats and fibers' ( collagen, reticulin..) loss occurs gradually. Due to gravity which constantly exerts puling pressure, fat movement takes place along with fat loss. It also pulls down fibers. Fibers specially collagen ( which helps holding these fats at its original place) looses its concentration and elasticity which adds further changes to our looks. Sun rays specially UVB, another element causes cell damages and skin aging. All of th...e above processes, perhaps along with few others ( genetics...) are responsible for facial wrinkles, hollows, folds, skin sagging etc. Fillers which most of them are made of hyaloronic acid (HA) is a carbohydrate (like starch ) which is a major natural component of our skin, connective tissues, our joint cartilages, joint fluids and more. Different manfaturers (like Allergan, maker of Juvederm family, Merz: maker of Belotero..) uses different bioengeeneering techniques, like cross-linking, which makes HA- fillers to last longer and form into the disired shape after being injected. FDA recently has approved many of them for cosmetics. Juvederm voluma Xc, juvederm Xc, Vollure Xc and VolbellaXc and Belotero are some of them which has been approved to be injected into cheeks, lines along sides of nose and lips, etc. The result is instant after injection, however, HA absorbs water gradually, and it takes several weeks to see ultimate result. Juvederm Voluma lasts up to two years for cheek augmentation, which needs to be injected into deeper layers of skin. HA been incorporated in many skin care products as well. There are other types of filers, like sculptra and Radiesse, which acts differently than HA types for rejuvenation. HA has been used for medical reasons like arthritis of knees, shoulders and wound repair etc.. Xc stands for Xylocane which provides numbing sensation during injection. Best
