Let’s start with understanding what it is actually.
Dermal Fillers Reverse Aging Signs
Dermal fillers are known with different names. These are injectable implants, soft tissue fillers, lip and facial fillers or wrinkle fillers. These are an amazing gift of aesthetic science that creates a smoother and/or fuller appearance on your face.
The beauty of this anti-aging treatment is that these fillers are naturally absorbed over time. So, you may need to repeat it after some time. It is simply to let the desired effect be there for a long time.
However, the desired results depend on the structure of your underlying tissues, the volume and the type of product used.
Only a certified doctor or aesthetic surgeon can tell how long the effect will last. His hands-on experience and number of successful cases enable him to find exactly where and which product is to be injected.

· Cheeks
· Chin
· Lips
· Back of the hands
· Nasolabial folds (the lines extending from the sides of the nose to the edges of your mouth)
At-Home Devices Available
There are many devices available for dermal fillers treatment at home. Unfortunately, the FDA has warned consumers not to use needle-free devices at home. Social media is populous with promotion campaigns for improving sales of these DIY needle-free devices. It is blamed for popularizing them. But, the use of any of these devices may end up in serious and permanent injuries.
Why to Avoid At-Home Fillers?
Doctors in Australia have urged patients to be mindful of complications associated with the dermal fillers in Gold Coast or any other location. If it’s done badly, they could see lumps, disfigured lips or other medical complications. At-home devices can lead to injecting a wrong artery, which can be blocked. Even, the lip skin (in case of lip filler) can fall off.
The FDA has also issued a warning, stating that it is aware of serious injuries due to these Injectables. In some cases, they can permanently harm to the skin, lips or eyes with the needle-free devices.
Primary Reasons to Avoid
· These fillers are available for prescription use only. A layman can get a permanent injury or harm to his face if one uses it at home.
· Only a licenced health care professional should administer it using a syringe.
· The fillers being sold directly to consumers may be contaminated. Hence, they should not be used.
· The needle-free devices do not provide sufficient control over where it is injected.
· There are many other risks associated with it like infections, bleeding, bruising, limps and allergic reactions.
· The severe injury can lead to the block of blood vessels. If accidently the device pierces an artery, it can cause blindness or a stroke.
· It may cause a transmission of diseases from sharable “at-home” devices.
