Facial Contouring Benefits of Hydrafill


Advertisement

 

Hydrafill is among the next generation fillers on the market, and is currently available at medical spas and aesthetic clinics in the United States and the United Kingdom.
 
This filler is made with hyaluronic acid and is designed to firm and tone the skin, restore skin volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. If you are noticing premature signs of aging such as wrinkles and lines around the mouth, deeper grooves around the nose and fine lines around the eyes, you may be a good candidate for a set of Hydrafill injections. Here’s a close look at the facial contouring benefits of Hydrafill:

How Hydrafill Injectable Fillers Work

Hydrafill hyaluronic acid fillers are made with Hylacross® gel, an innovative compound that helps to rehydrate the skin while restoring skin volume. Hyaluronic acid is readily available in the body and creates the soft and smooth tone commonly associated with fresh and youthful skin. As we age, the level of hyaluronic acid may become depleted. Hyaluronic acid fillers can help to restore hyalurnoic acid levels in the skin, and create new contours by adding volume to the skin tissue.
The Hydrafill fillers can be administered to the lips, chin, jaw and cheek area, and also work to fill out scars and depressions in the skin. It is also used for the following purposes:
  • Nose correction
  • Brow lifts
  • Softening deep lines and wrinkles
  • Cheek enhancement
  • Balancing the jaw line
Hydrafill fillers are made with natural biodegradable gels, and can be injected quickly and easily into the skin. Because they are biodegradable, the body does slowly absorb the filler’s compounds. Hydrafill lasts for about six months and touch up treatments can be administered to the same area at the six-month mark.

Hydrafill as Part of the Liquid Facelift

Hydrafill is a commonly used injectable filler for the liquid facelift procedure, a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves administering several dermal fillers in key facial compartments. Since Hydrafill is a soft tissue filler, it can be combined with other treatments such as Perlane and Restylane to produce dramatic results. The procedure typically takes between 20 to 30 minutes, and a topical cream or local anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort.
 
In addition to restoring tissue volume, Hydrafill can be used to enhance the lips. Hydrafill can be used as a lip plumping treatment to smooth out wrinkles and lines on the lips, and also strengthen the upper and lower lip tissues. 
 
While Hydrafill does present many benefits for aging skin, there are some side effects associated with the treatment. Some of the most common side effects of this particular dermal filler include redness, pain, swelling, tenderness and itching. Most of the effects disappear within 1 to 2 days, but swelling and bruising may subside by the 72-hour mark.
