Pros and Cons of Hydrelle Dermal Fillers


Advertisement

 

The Hydrelle dermal filler was introduced to the United States market in summer 2009, and has joined the group of popular hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane for treating facial wrinkles and lines. The dermal filler has been deemed one of the ‘next generation’ fillers because it requires less than half the treatment amount than the typical filler to produce results, and may also be less painful overall. Here’s a close look at the benefits and drawbacks of Hydrelle dermal fillers:

How Hydrelle Dermal Fillers Work

Hydrelle is designed to treat facial wrinkles including nasolabial folds and fine lines around the eyes and mouth. It is priced lower than traditional fillers including Restylane and Juvederm, and the lidocaine anesthetic is integrated into the injectable for a more comfortable experience. The injectable requires fewer treatments to achieve noticeable results when compared to traditional fillers, and may last a few weeks or months longer than Restylane or Juvederm. It is the first FDA-approved filler to combine hyaluronic acid with lidcoaine, and uses an innovative cross-linking technology to deliver the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid possible. Hydrelle is produced by Coapt Systems, Incorporated.

Key Benefits of Hydrelle Dermal Fillers

Hydrelle can be used to treat laugh lines, furrows around the brows, tear troughs around the eyes, and deep grooves around the mouth. Since hyaluronic acid is already present in the body, hyaluronic acid injections are among the safest types of fillers to use.
 
Hydrelle dermal fillers offer several benefits over traditional injectables including:
  • Little to no risk of allergic reactions
  • Can be used to treat marionette lines and other wrinkles on the face
  • Less pain involved than traditional fillers
  • Can treat deeper lines with just a single syringe
  • Readily available at most cosmetic surgery offices and medical spas in the United States
  • Priced more affordably than traditional fillers
  • Fast recovery times
  • Can be performed as a ‘lunchtime’ procedure
  • Can be used for cheek enhancement and to plump up the lips
  • No major side effects
  • No downtime involved, recovery from swelling or slight bruising typically takes between 24 to 48 hours

Drawbacks of Hydrelle Dermal Fillers

As with all hyaluronic acid fillers, Hydrelle there are some downsides to using Hydrelle. Some people can experience severe redness, swelling and tenderness around the injection site, especially if it is their first time undergoing the treatment. Others may experience slight bruising, but this will disappear within a few hours or a day.
 
However, administration of this dermal filler is still the least painful of all types of hyaluronic fillers on the market because the lidocaine begins to work immediately on contact. Hydrelle can be administered on all skin types, and is most suitable for treating deep nasolabial folds.
