Dermal Filler in Iran

2. Dermal Filler Procedure in Iran

The main procedure for dermal filler consists of 4 main steps. The first step is Facial assessment & mapping. The plastic surgeon should first evaluate your facial appearance and skin tone. He/she will next map out the target areas of your face (may also including photography). In the second stage, the injection sites will be cleansed with an antibacterial agent. Local anesthesia or anesthetic ointment may be applied to numb the target skin. The next step is the injection. Injection usually takes only a few moments per site. Depending on the size of treatment, the whole procedure may take between 15 minutes to 1 hour. There are usually three treatments needed about a month apart to reach desired results. The last stage is cleaning up the area from ointments and the marks.

According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, calcium hydroxylapatite can help stimulate natural collagen production. This can further remove wrinkles and improve the skin profile. A popular type of hydroxylapatite dermal fillers is Radiesse@e.

• Poly-L-lactic Acid

Poly-L-lactic acid is a synthetic substance that is made in laboratories. The primary use was for medical devices, such as dissolvable stitches. The filler gel is biodegradable and dissolves a few days after treatment. This filler type is mainly for deeper facial wrinkles and produce results lasting for up to 2 years.

• Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a synthetic substance that takes the form of a “microsphere”. These tiny balls remain beneath the skin to create a fuller profile. PMMA fillers also contain collagen. PMMA fillers work the best at treating medium-to-deep wrinkles. They can be used to augment thin lips, and treat nasolabial folds, “smile lines”. The only downside of PMMA is the long recovery period as it can take up to three months to reach the full results.

Dermal Filler Options

There are some alternative surgery types that you can undergo instead of dermal fillers. The choices include:

• Topical lotions

A topical medication is a medication that is administrated to a particular area on or inside the body. Some lotions can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing skin cell turnover.

• Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation method that uses a wand-like instrument that sprays small, abrasive particles to remove the upper layer of skin. This exposes the softer, smoother underlayer. The procedure helps improve the appearance of wrinkles and create a tighter skin profile.

• Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion smoothens out skin by scraping the top layer of skin away. This exposes the moistier skin that lies underneath. The procedure can help tone and shape the skin in this way.

• Chemical peels

Chemical peels are another type of cosmetic treatments to help create a fresher skin profile. The target areas include the face, hands, and neck. During the procedure, the chemicals are applied to the area to make the dead outer layer exfoliate. This can expose a new, fresher and smoother underlayer to the sight.

• Botox

This is another type of injection that works in a different way than dermal filler to create a smoother skin look. Botox uses a bacterium-made substance, called botulinum toxin, to temporarily paralyze the underlying muscles. Thus, it can relax the facial muscles to help remove wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes.

• Autologous Fat injection

Autologous fat transfer (also known as fat injection) is a body contouring method that involves removing fat cells from areas with excess fat and injecting in into the target areas. This can reshape of undesirable parts by augmenting areas that are deficient in volume.

• Profhilo

As a novel alternative to traditional dermal filler, Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid (HA) treatment that can leave a fresh and radiant skin for you. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally produced agent inside our body. As we age, the production gets lazy. Profhilo is injected at 5 points on each side of the face. Afterwards, it is evenly distributed throughout the layers of the skin. This draws water inside skin tissue and thus helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles whilst improving the skin’s profile. The evenly spreading accounts for the main difference between Profhilo and a traditional dermal filler.

• Sculptra

Sculptra is common a type of injectable. Unlike Hyaluronic acid, Sculptra incorporates into the tissues and thus stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen. Sculptra is injected deeper inside the area to treat lines and wrinkles that are prevalent.
