Bloom Lip Plump

Restylane, Alloderm, collagen, fat, Sculptra ... choices in injectable facial loads seem endless. Moreover, new products will be available all the time, each promising to do more, longer, and produce fewer side effects. And with average treatment costs of the order of several hundred dollars, injectable fillers are increasingly popular with women from all walks of life, from soccer moms to fashion models. But just how effective are the charges? The results are worth it? And what are the potential problems should you be careful?

Understanding the Beast
Fillers are substances injected under the skin to fill in lines, plump up the skin and remove wrinkles. Some charges contain natural ingredients - including your own fat harvested from elsewhere on your body. Some fillers are made of synthetic ingredients. And others are a combination of natural substances derived from animals combined with synthetic ingredients.

Typically, charges are injected into the doctor's office, as outpatient procedures that allow you to return to work and normal activities immediately after the appointment. The results are usually immediate, and the appointment usually takes less than an hour. There is often some mild discomfort or itching after surgery, but that should dissipate within a day or two. Although some bruising may occur, side effects are rare and generally mild. So what's the catch?

Thank you Madam, we'll see you in six weeks
As with Botox (an injection, but not a charge), one of the main drawbacks is that the charges are temporary. Sad to say, but the easiest and safest injectable, more temporary, it seems. You can even use your own fat as a burden, but the results will probably disappear within a few weeks. There is no risk of allergic reaction to this procedure, because the load is harvested from your own body, but chances are that you will return to your doctor, in no time at all - even if a small number of patients have reported excellent results that have lasted up to one year.

Collagen is an old filling (which for the hypochondriac, meaning it can be "safe" and "more controlled") which has a relatively short life. In fact, some women the need for new injections every six weeks - and many report that it is their favorite. Restylane is perhaps the most significant contribution of people around - and also pointed to the most painful.

Fillers containing hyaluronic acid last much longer, Juvederm is a brand itself, and boasts up to one year, although it speaks not to honor its debts. ArteFill is another "permanent" fillers, while the makers of Radiesse and Sculptra demand for semi-permanently. Sure, most enduring significant burden, the greater the possibility of side effects or botched treatments that can be remedied. This can be particularly difficult in the case of ArteFill, since it contains bovine collagen, an ingredient with a relatively high rate of allergic reactions.

Watch Out for this one!
Liquid silicone (Silikon 1000) has also been known to be used as a filler injection despite the fact that it is not sold for this purpose. Because it is permanent, it has advantages. However, the known complications include liquid silicone migration and bumps that can develop years after treatment. There were even reports of silicone to find its place in the blood vessels and form a clot! It is so risky, in fact, it was compared to injecting a bomb - or, to the Russian roulette of cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery.

Thus, since Silikon 1000 is approved for use in a body part, some gaps in the FDA regulations allow docs to use off-label as an injectable filler. But because of the dangers associated with silicone injections in the face and.
