How does a Wrinkle Filler Work?

Cosmetic treatments have advanced tremendously in terms of the medications and procedures available today, compared to even just a few decades ago. One of the most sought-after cosmetic treatments is wrinkle fillers. As the name suggests, this procedure is focused on removing age lines to give a smoother appearance to the skin. The science behind it is simple, and a small peek into how it works will help to decide if this is a viable option or not.

What you should know about wrinkle fillers

To start off, a wrinkle filler involves a minimally invasive procedure that does not require surgery. The layer under the skin is injected with the treatment formulation in places where the results are desired. This may be the eyes, forehead, cheeks, lips, neck, or even the arms. These treatments are usually quick and easy, and most effects ideally last for six to eight months. The formulation injected may be any one of these – hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, collagen stimulator, donor fat from other areas of the individual’s body, or polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres. Depending on the formulation used, the wrinkles disappear as the sagging and stretched skin smoothens and almost returns to its former state. This is different from the Botox injections that are used on the muscles that tend to make the skin quite stiff.

Wrinkle filling injections are easy, don’t result in scars, and not as expensive as cosmetic surgery. However, it is highly recommended that you only get such treatment from a certified dermatologist, as well as be aware of potential side effects.

Age-defying products that aren’t wrinkle-fillers

Skincare routines have become a standard nowadays and you don’t have to go to the extent of using a wrinkle filler as an anti-aging protocol when you have other options to care for your skin. For instance, Premier’s Classic Biox Total Age Defying Cream is designed to specifically lock in the body’s natural collagen and improve the elasticity of the skin. This works incredibly well in improving sagging skin and lines and acts like a wrinke filler in terms of the final effect.

Forget needles and injecting anti-aging products under your skin. Premier’s Classic Biox Total Thermal Mask is simple to use but works to repair the skin and remove all signs of aging. The vitamins and minerals in it work to completely rejuvenate the skin to make it look supple and younger. And you don’t even need to use it that often. Incorporating a couple of simple steps into your skincare regimen will help you avoid resorting to cosmetic enhancements to defy signs of aging.
