There is no one-size-fits-all approach to skincare. Everyone’s skin is different. Some people are gifted with exceptional skin genetics while others need a little more help maintaining their youthful appearance. Some skin is naturally oily while other skin is prone to dryness. But no matter what type of skin you have, you can take steps to make it as beautiful and flawless as possible. Facial fillers can help.
But even facial fillers don’t work the same way for everyone. Some fillers contain ingredients that don’t work well inside the human body and may cause irritation or unwanted reactions. Here is why biocompatibility is so important when it comes to using facial fillers.
Acceptability Rates
When fillers use ingredients that aren’t biocompatible with the body, the body is more likely to reject them. Many people underestimate how smart the human body is. It knows when there are things inside it that are potentially harmful, and it works to reject those things. It is possible for some people to experience reactions after receiving facial fillers. Reactions can range from minor swelling to serious infections that may lead to skin necrosis.
For these reasons, it’s important to receive dermal fillers only from a trusted business that uses biocompatible ingredients. Such ingredients improve acceptability rates and reduce the likelihood of serious reactions. Newport Medical and Wellness Center uses dermal fillers that are known to promote youthful, beautiful skin with a low risk of undesired effects.
Most of the injectable treatments include ingredients that have a long history of safe use, including:
- Synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite. This ingredient minimizes facial folds and wrinkles. It can also plump up thinning lips. This material is biocompatible with facial tissue and is sterile. It’s suspended inside a gel-like substance that breaks down over time and is replaced by the body’s own collagen.
- Hyaluronic acid. Many of the dermal fillers offered at Newport Medical and Wellness Center include hyaluronic acid. This is a compound that’s found naturally in our connective tissues and increases water retention in the skin. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while plumping the tissues.
- Commonly used for its numbing effects, lidocaine is found in several dermal fillers. This ingredient can help prepare treatment areas prior to injection of dermal fillers. It may also result in less swelling and post-injection bruising.
- Poly-L-lactic acid. This biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic polymer helps the body produce collagen. As collagen production increases, the appearance of fine lines decreases.
- Botulinum toxin type A. This is the active ingredient in Botox® and is a derivative of the toxin that causes botulism. However, the type used in fillers is sterile and is inactive. When injected, this ingredient can relax the muscles that are commonly responsible for causing wrinkles.
All of these facial fillers have a long history of safe use and are biocompatible with the human body. Just be sure to do your homework and don’t get any of these treatments from anyone who is not qualified to offer them. Newport Medical and Wellness Center has been safely providing clients with these types of dermal fillers for years and knows how to get the job done safely and correctly.
