‌What is AestheFill Dermal Filler

‌AestheFill dermal filler is composed of polylactic acid PDLLA (Poly-D, L-Lactic Acid), which is the unique combination of D- and L-lactide. This combination produces porous structure of microspheres, uniform collagen production, and even structure without foam and flakes. These round PDLLA structures ensure a degree of safety and reliability of the AestheFill dermal filler, which has been confirmed by clinical trials and further approved by the FDA. Furthermore, the fine and evenly dispersed particles also ensure even distribution of the product in the face.

‌Characteristics of AestheFill Dermal Filler

‌The treatment areas of AestheFill dermal filler include forehead wrinkles, upper lip wrinkles, nasolabial folds, chin creases and dimples. AestheFill dermal filler can also be used to treat non-facial areas, such as the wrinkles on the back of the hand. When the AestheFill dermal filler is injected, it begins to actively fill the voids that are caused by skin aging and the loss structural proteins. At the target site, polylactide molecules start the immediate process of tissue renewal and collagen formation, thanks to which the volume is fully replenished and even deep wrinkles are smoothed out. This is due to the special properties of AestheFill molecules, which, thanks to their porous structure, ensure the most effective collageneogenesis. Fibroblasts (skin cells) begin to work both outside and inside the microspheres.

In addition, polylactic acid actively stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid by mature skin cells. The uniqueness of the AestheFill dermal filler lies in the fact that after the breakdown and complete removal of its main active substance from the body (this process takes an average of 3 to 4 months), the place where the gel is placed is not left with a void, but with new collagen and elastin. Therefore, the effect will last for a long time – until the breakdown of collagen and elastin begins under the influence of age factors. At this point, the procedure can be repeated.

In the AestheFill hydrogel, polylactide has a porous structure with finely dispersed particles of the same size, which ensures even distribution of the gel under the skin. Many balls appear to “roll on the floor” and fill all voids without needing to be corrected

‌How to use AestheFill Dermal Filler

AestheFill dermal filler is completely self-absorbing, and can be used for the temporary improvement of wrinkles in the face. AestheFill dermal filler should be administered in a series of treatments; on average, there should be 3 injection sessions that are spaced out from 4 to 6 weeks. Right after an injection procedure using AestheFill dermal filler, there is an expected initial swelling; this may seem like instant results, but the swelling will reduce in a matter of a few days, in which collagen will start to be formed. Because the initial swelling dies down, AestheFill dermal filler needs to be administered in a series of treatments. It takes 45 to 90 days after the initial treatment to see the complete results of AestheFill dermal filler.

‌General Instructions for Filler Injection Procedure
Dermal filler injections should be administered only by trained medical professionals with the proper experience and expertise. Individuals without medical certifications should not attempt to self-inject, as there is risk for health-related and aesthetic complications.

Patients should keep in mind the timing of when they decide to receive a filler injection procedure. Even with the proper technique and experience, bruising and swelling is usually unavoidable, and can last for up to a week. Hence, when scheduling a filler injection procedure with a licensed practitioner, be mindful to leave adequate time for recovery before any upcoming important events.

With good technique and comfort measures, certified medical professionals can provide a filler procedure that is tolerable in pain levels. Before the injection period, the injection site and the surrounding areas should be adequately cleaned and disinfected. The entire filler injection process typically takes around 15 to 30 mins. After the procedure, the patient should be given filler aftercare instructions, and are able to leave the clinic.

Certified medical professionals administer facial fillers using a combination of filler injection techniques in most cases.

Common Filler Injection Techniques

1. Tunneling Technique
The tunneling technique is most commonly used to correct fine lines and straight wrinkles. This injection technique is versatile, as it can treat superficial skin lines, deep-set wrinkles, or areas of diffuse volume loss. The tunneling technique is a highly preferred way to inject facial fillers as it is considered the safest and most natural. To produce optimal results, the needle should be inserted at a slanted, 30 to 45 degree angle, which follows the direction of the wrinkle.

Dermal fillers are not to be injected when the cannula or needle is entering the skin, or while placed at its endpoint. All dermal fillers should be injected when the needle is in the process of being withdrawn. This is called “retro-trace” or “retrograde” injections, and it ensures that the filler is distributed in a safe and even manner in the right areas.

2. Point Technique
The point technique involves a process in which several small droplets of filler are injected into the deep dermis (located at the deep layers of the skin) or the subcutaneous layer (located below the skin). These microinjections are administered consecutively in close proximity to one another. This process causes the small droplets of filler to meld and work together to lift the wrinkle up and reduce its depth and contours. The point technique is particularly effective at providing overall hydration to the skin or filling a large area in the deep dermis that is hollow.

A limitation of the point technique is that it may produce less natural-looking results and may cause further complications. Hence, the point technique should only be used in situations deemed appropriate by the certified practitioner.

3. Stretching Technique
The stretching technique requires stretching and applying pressure to the skin that surrounds the the targeted wrinkle. The application of tension to the skin will allow the needle to be placed and angled more easily and more precisely. This enables better visualization through the skin, and overall ensures that the filler is being administered correctly in the intended areas. The stretching technique is typically applied to the areas with excess, sagging or loose skin.

4. Dual Plane Technique
The Dual Plane Technique involves the injection of facial filler to two different levels of the skin in the same area. The two different levels are most commonly the dermis, which is the middle layer of the skin, and the subdermal plane, which is the level directly below the skin. The second injection administered to the deeper level (i.e. the subdermal plane) is used to enhance the effects of the initial injection administered at the upper layer. In some cases, two different types of fillers are used for the two different layers. The filler with thinner consistency is administered to the upper layer, while the filler with thicker consistency is administered to the lower layer.
‌
This technique is typically employed in two situations. First, if the patient’s target area is in constant movement regularly, the dual plane technique can provide more natural-looking results of the filler across all potential facial expressions. Second, this technique is particularly useful when trying to correct an area of the face where there are both wrinkles in the superficial layer, and volume loss in the deeper layer.

Why is AestheFill Dermal Filler recommended?

The main differentiation point of the AestheFill filler is that it is made of polylactic acid (PLA), compared to the common hyaluronic acid (HA) in most facial fillers. Because of this property, the PLA produces collagen in the face, and thus is ideal for clients who want to replenish collagen stores, which gradually decrease with age. Not only that, the results last for more than 2 years, compared to the usual 1 year of HA fillers. Moreover, the AestheFill filler possesses other characteristics that puts it at an advantage over HA fillers - this filler does not migrate, does not attract water, is more natural and softer looking, and has little risk of intravascular occlusion. In addition, exercise/heat/massage does not affect post treatment results.
