Focus on Injectable Fillers Offered at Medical Spas

Many injectable fillers are used in today’s modern medical spa. Collagen has been used for a very long time, but it has some rivals these days, each with pros and cons, and each with their own fan base. Knowing a bit about all of them will help in guiding your clients towards what will work best for them.

Hylaform is  a colorless, clear gel that  is synthesized from hyaluronic acid which occurs naturally I the human body. It is in fact key to the lubrication of tissue. Not having enough of this substance in the body in fact can lead to deterioration and degenerative diseases. Hylaform can replace collagen, and remove wrinkles. Keeping the skin looking youthful, pliant, moist and elastic requires products such as hyaluronic acid, especially as we get older. injectable dermal fillers like  Hylaform and Restylane use hyaluronic acid in a gel. Form and for most it is quite effective in helping the skin retain moisture.  When administered by trained professionals the benefits are maximized and the possible dangers become minimal. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance there is little or no chance of side effects and a skin test is not needed. The effects last for several months. A highly pure form of hyaluronic acid used as an injectable is Hylaform Plus. It is injected just below the surface of the skin and draws moisture and volume. It reduces wrinkles and face lines, and sometimes even removes them with effects lasting up to nine months.

Hylaform and Hylaform Plus are both derived from the same material and are designed for the same purpose, but different applications. Hylaform should be injected into finer lines and wrinkles to smooth the skin to lubricate and tissue under the surface.  Hylaform Plus is a concentrated version and is primarily for deeper lines and facial creases.

Collagen is still a choice available and is chosen by many clients. A skin test is required to ensure compatibility because collagen is after all animal fat, but for those who choose it, it is a tried and true injectable. All of the injectable fillers mentioned can help reverse the visible effects of aging, gravity, sun exposure and those years of smiling, squinting and chewing. Use of injectables can also be done in conjunction with resurfacing procedures such as laser treatments and with facelifts.
