Volumise / fill
Volumizing fillers represent an essential category in aesthetic medicine, designed to restore lost facial volumes and fill deep skin depressions. With age, the loss of subcutaneous fat, bone resorption, and decreased production of collagen and elastin lead to an alteration of facial contours, tissue sagging, and the appearance of marked wrinkles and furrows. This range of products offers practitioners effective solutions to restore structure, support, and fullness to targeted areas, thus contributing to overall facial harmonization.
Understanding Volumizing Fillers
The majority of volumizing fillers are formulated with cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the body, known for its ability to retain water, thus ensuring tissue hydration and volume. In volumizing formulations, HA is specifically modified (cross-linked) to increase its viscosity and resistance to enzymatic degradation. This cross-linking gives the gel greater projection capacity and increased durability, making it ideal for restoring significant volumes and providing structural support.
Other formulations may include collagen stimulators, acting not only through an immediate filling effect but also by stimulating the body's natural collagen production in the long term. These products are chosen based on the specific indication, injection depth, and the desired outcome by the practitioner.
Main Indications and Application Areas
Volumizing fillers are indicated for a multitude of applications aimed at restoring and reshaping the face:
- Restoration of cheekbone and cheek volumes: To correct sagging and restore harmonious projection to the mid-face.
- Correction of hollow temples: To reduce the skeletal appearance and restore a soft curve to the temples.
- Reshaping of the facial oval and jawline: To define the jaw and correct mild to moderate skin laxity.
- Chin volume augmentation: To improve projection and profile balance.
- Filling deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines: When wrinkles are very pronounced and require a product with strong filling capacity.
- Correction of deep skin depressions and irregularities: To smooth the skin surface and even out skin tone.
Characteristics of Volumizing Formulations
Selecting the appropriate product is crucial and depends on several factors. Volumizing products are distinguished by their HA concentration, degree of cross-linking, and cohesivity. A more highly cross-linked and cohesive gel will have greater projection capacity and be more resistant to deformation, making it suitable for deep injections, bone contact, or sub-periosteal placement. Conversely, less cross-linked but still volumizing products can be used for more superficial layers or areas requiring softer tissue integration.
Brands like Juvéderm (Vycross range), Restylane (Lyft or Volyme range), Belotero (Intense, Volume), Saypha (Volume), Teosyal (Ultimate, Ultra Deep), and Filorga (Art Filler Volume) offer specific formulations designed to meet these volume and structure requirements. Mesoestetic also offers innovative solutions in this field.
