What are the types of dermal fillers used?

The different types of dermal fillers used include:

  • Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers: Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers are used for volume and contour definition. Calcium hydroxyapatite is the major constituent of the bone. Once injected, it provides immediate volume and provides strength and texture to the cheeks. Calcium hydroxyapatite, acts as a platform for collagen to grow, and is eventually absorbed by the body. The results often last over a year in many patients.
  • Poly-L-lactic acid fillers: Poly-L-lactic acid fillers work by gradually replacing collagen. Collagen is a natural protein that provides structural support and texture to the skin. A series of 3-4 injections is usually required over a period of time. The series of injections may vary from patient to patient. The results are slow but long lasting.
