Temporary Tissue Fillers
What are Temporary Tissue Fillers? Most temporary tissue fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance present in all living organisms. Hyaluronic acid has the important ability to attract and bind to water molecules to help maintain tissue volume. Hyaluronic acid is one of very few substances identical in all species and tissue types. The injectable tissue fillers are medically approved sterile gels consisting of non-animal cross-linked hyaluronic acid for injection into the skin to correct facial lines, wrinkles, folds, lip enhancement and for shaping facial contours.
How do they work?
Hyaluronic Acid tissue fillers act by adding volume to tissue, thereby shaping the contours of the face, correcting folds or enhancing the lips to the desired level of correction. The results are long lasting though not permanent and the procedure can be repeated as often as you like. You are always in charge of your appearance.
Are permanent tissue fillers used at the Dermatology Rejuvenation Center?
At the present time permanent tissue fillers are rarely used in our facility. The exception is Artesense which are used in special cases of deep acne scars. 80% of the North American dermal filler market generally focuses on the Hyaluronic acid temporary tissue fillers. Permanent tissue fillers are more likely to cause side effects and offer less flexibility when it comes to results. The temporary tissue fillers we use are Restylane, Juvederm (Voluma) and Teosyal.
