A Variety of Dermal Fillers Are Available
Dermal fillers have been providing safe, consistent, and predictable results for many years—each formula working in a slightly different way with varying degrees of longevity and softness. Different chemical makeups mean different uses for different results, and choosing the right dermal filler depends on what your end goals are.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic acid is the main component in many dermal fillers. It is a natural substance found in connective tissue, fluid around the eyes, cartilage, joint fluid, and skin. It delivers nutrients to the skin, helps to retain moisture, and adds volume. Juvederm, and Ravenesse Versa use hyaluronic acid as their main ingredient.
Juvederm
Juvederm comes in several different formulations and consistencies to better serve patients with a variety of needs. It is often the dermal filler of choice for patients undergoing brow lifts or chin augmentation. In addition, it is also effective at volumizing cheeks or lips, and smoothing wrinkles, including the nasolabial folds.
Ravenesse Versa
Ravenesse Versa also uses a hyaluronic acid base but with a higher molecular weight than other fillers, which may produce longer results. It can treat moderate to severe wrinkles, including nasolabial folds. In one study, the product appeared to cause less swelling than some of its competitors.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
Calcium Hydroxylapatite is another type of injectable filler base. CaHA consists of a uniform suspension of microspheres in an aqueous gel solution and is considered highly biocompatible for use in cosmetics. Dermal fillers using CaHA provide similar results as their HA counterparts but additional formulations give patients more blends to choose from to find the right fit. Radiesse is one of the dermal fillers that use CaHA.
Radiesse
Radiesse can improve wrinkles and folds in the face, and is the first dermal filler approved by the FDA for use on hands. The CaHa microspheres stimulate collagen production, which can enhance wrinkle reduction and extend results for a longer period.
