A Guide to Understanding Different Types of Facial Fillers

Facial fillers have revolutionized the approach to anti-aging, offering solutions that range from smoothing out wrinkles to enhancing facial contours. With several types available, understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision tailored to your aesthetic goals.


Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: The Go-To for Most


Hyaluronic acid fillers are one of the most popular choices for wrinkle treatment and lip enhancement due to their safety and effectiveness. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin known for its ability to retain moisture, which helps maintain skin hydration and volume. When injected, these fillers not only smooth out wrinkles but also add volume to the treated areas, making them ideal for addressing nasolabial folds and under-eye circles.


At Marina Medical Aesthetics, our clients love the immediate results of hyaluronic acid fillers for achieving a youthful complexion and enhancing facial features like the lips and cheeks.


Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: For Deeper Lines and Collagen Stimulation


Calcium hydroxylapatite is another biodegradable filler that's been used safely in medicine for many years. It's primarily known for its collagen-stimulating properties, which make it an excellent option for more than just filling in wrinkles—it helps improve skin quality in the long term. This filler is often used for deeper lines and areas requiring substantial volume enhancement, such as cheek augmentation.


This filler is an excellent choice for anyone looking to achieve a more pronounced non-surgical facelift effect, as it provides both immediate facial contouring and encourages natural collagen production over time.


Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: The Long-Term Rejuvenator


Poly-L-lactic acid fillers are designed for long-lasting results. Unlike hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite, they don’t just fill wrinkles but work by stimulating the body’s collagen production. As a result, the skin's structure is gradually improved, leading to a reduction in wrinkles and enhanced skin quality that can last for up to two years.


Ideal for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, poly-L-lactic acid fillers are perfect for clients who are seeking significant improvements in skin texture and volume without frequent treatments.


Choosing the Right Filler for You


The choice of dermal filler largely depends on your specific concerns and desired outcomes. For example, if immediate lip enhancement or under-eye correction is your goal, hyaluronic acid fillers might be the best option due to their versatility and reversibility. For clients looking at long-term skin rejuvenation and significant facial contouring, poly-L-lactic acid might be the preferable choice.
