This mineral-like compound is naturally found in human bones and is often used to treat moderate to severe nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and frown lines. The filler can also help enhance fullness in the cheeks and other facial contours, and improve volume in areas experiencing facial wasting. A common brand offering this type of filler is Radiesse.

The benefits of this filler include lower risk of an allergic reaction and rare side effects (compared to other fillers), natural-appearing results, and long safety record.

This type of dermal filler is offered under the brand name Aquamid. It is a semi-permanent dermal filler often used by plastic surgeons to:

• Add volume to the lips
• Minimize the appearance of deep wrinkles, such as the nasolabial folds, and depressed scars
• Enhance the cheekbones and jawline
• Restore facial volume
• Treat facial wasting caused by HIV medications

Unlike other dermal fillers, polyalkylimide is biocompatible, radio transparent (meaning it won’t interfere with x-rays), and may be removed if necessary.

Polylactic acid is a non-toxic, biodegradable substance that stimulates collagen production and helps to:

• Fill laugh lines
• Fill lips
• Minimize the appearance of nasolabial folds

Polylactic acid doesn’t produce immediate results and can take four to six weeks to show full effects. Treatment is semi-permanent and patients may need occasional touch-ups. A popular brand offering polylactic acid-based fillers is Sculptra.

Offered by the brand Bellafill, PMMA fillers are considered semi-permanent and commonly used to treat medium-to-deep wrinkles, folds, and furrows. The filler may also be used to fill out pitted scars and add volume to the lips.

Clients looking for a more permanent solution to facial wrinkles may benefit from PMMA, instead of collagen replacement therapy or hyaluronic acid therapy. During the first treatment, the surgeon will likely underfill, but may add more later if necessary.

The type of dermal filler best for you will depend on your facial features and aesthetic goals. Hyaluronic-acid based fillers are by far the most popular, producing natural-looking results and earning the satisfaction of millions around the world.
