Are they different or synonymous?

Both anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers are becoming increasingly popular and are both used to address the signs of aging and maintain a more youthful appearance. We are often asked what the difference is between the two treatments? The line between fillers and tox is often blurred, and they are commonly confused as one another and considered synonymous. The reality is that they are very different and both anti-wrinkle injections and dermal filler tackle specifically very different problems within the face.

13 things you need to know before setting up the ‘needle date’ with dermal fillers

 


1. Hyaluronic acid, an all-natural component found in the skin

At Accent on Skin, we use dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin. Thanks to its ability to store moisture, hyaluronic acid is what gives your skin a plump and hydrated look. Hyaluronic acid fillers are a gel-like substance that creates volume in the skin. Once injected, they begin to integrate into the substance of the skin, attracting water molecules and hydrating the surrounding tissue.

Whilst other types of filler exist, they are less popular as they are non-reversible. This is a major disadvantage because these fillers cannot be dissolved in the event of complications. Read more here 13 things you need to know before setting up the ‘needle date’ with dermal fillers.

Q & A About Dermal Needling



What is Micro-Needling?

A clinical device utilized for the objective of breaking down old scar cells as well as boost skin cells for proliferation. This multiplication results in the production of brand-new cell layers of elastin as well as collagen fibers, along with an enhanced blood supply.

How does it work?

The gadget moves carefully along the skin, permeating the layers of the skin closest to the surface, of a depth of up to 2mm to produce many little needle wounds. The therapy encourages the body to respond by developing brand-new collagen and elastin fibers. As the skin reacts, it plumps and enlarges, lowering the look of marks, creases, and fine lines.

What can I get out of the treatment?

The skin is cleansed as well as numbing cream may be related to minimizing discomfort. For far better outcomes, we use a collagen-stimulating item like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin-C lotion, or skin lightener for pigmentation throughout the procedure. A small handheld pen-like gadget with a sterilized, disposable idea with 12 small needles is after that made use of to puncture the skin. Our needling pen's multi-speed and flexible needle depth enables needles to puncture the skin's layer at 90 levels and also enhance the absorption of products. After the treatment, soothing Vitamin-C products or Hyaluronic acid are utilized to moisturize, recover and also protect the skin.

How will I look after treatment?

Most people will certainly experience moderate inflammation and potentially some swelling. Similarly, you might feel a moderate sunburn. Effects may last for 24-48 hrs and also there might be determined blood loss and/or bruising. Within a number of days to numerous weeks you will certainly discover a smoother, brighter, and a lot more glowing look, however, the complete impacts of the therapy do not show up till a number of months later.

What is the downtime like?

The inflammatory response of the skin is very short and fades considerably within hrs from redness to pinkish that may last for 12 to two days. In order to lower visible soreness, we suggest hyaluronic acid after the procedure, and to protect the skin with zinc-based sunscreen. Using mineral makeup may be used after the procedure.

What effects does micro-needling have on the skin?

- Improves the look of stretch marks.

- Decreases pore size.

- Enhances the high quality and structure of the skin.

- Minimizes fine lines as well as wrinkles.

Will it be painful?

Numbing lotion can be applied prior to the therapy which considerably lessens or gets rid of any type of pain entirely.

Is there any kind of dangers?

The tiny pricking networks close within one hour, and due to the fact that the treatment is executed under scientific conditions, the probability of infection occurring is incredibly reduced.

The number of therapies does I need as well as exactly how typically?

Micro-needling can be securely duplicated every 4-6 weeks up until you accomplish the preferred results. For collagen induction, we advise beginning with 3 therapies, but with a minimum separation time of 4 to 6 weeks in between therapies. For mark reduction, an average of 3 to 6 therapies is advised. The number of therapies required will rely on just how each individual responds to the treatments, and the degree of the damages at the starting Micro-needling can be made use of on all skin parts of the body. Many people will begin to see results after the very initial visit.
