Hollowing is one of the most visible signs of aging. It contributes to facial hollows such as in the temples and under the eyes as well as the formation of wrinkles. To treat these hollows, patients often seek out dermal filler injections. However, not everyone wants or is a good candidate for traditional fillers. Additionally, with an increased focus on putting only natural substances into our bodies, many people look for alternatives.
Natural facial fillers generally take an organic material from the patient’s body and re-inject it into the treatment areas to stimulate a collagen response. With growth factors and beneficial proteins, this helps improve skin texture and plump the face. The process of harvesting the natural filler is usually non-surgical or non-invasive and does not require general anesthesia.
It is nearly impossible for these natural fillers to cause an allergic reaction or for your body to reject them. There are risks like this with any other cosmetic injection, but they are minimal. Dr. Jindal can inject natural facial fillers anywhere you can receive traditional dermal fillers such as the lips, temples, under eyes, and smile lines.
Natural fillers and hyaluronic acid fillers have many similarities such as the treatment areas and the overall goals of the treatments. However, they also have several differences that can make the difference when choosing the right procedure for you. Dr. Jindal does offer both natural fillers and hyaluronic acid fillers. The table below compares the two treatments to help you make an informed decision on the right one for you.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Natural facial fillers in Raleigh have many benefits patients can enjoy. Some of these benefits include:
Consultation
In a consultation with Dr. Jindal at the Jindal Institute for Youthful Aging, he will ask you about your specific concerns and your goals for the procedure. From there, Dr. Jindal will need to know about your medical history and lifestyle because this can impact the procedures you are a candidate for and the ones that will work best for you. Finally, Dr. Jindal may examine the treatment areas.
If Dr. Jindal believes you are a good candidate for a natural filler procedure, he will present the various options. He may also provide his recommendation based on your history and goals. If you decide to move forward with a natural filler, Dr. Jindal will describe the procedure more in detail and provide you with how to prepare.
Treatment
Depending on whether you undergo PRP and PRF treatments or a fat injection procedure, the day of your procedure will go slightly differently. In the case of a plasma injection, Dr. Jindal or one of his team will draw your blood. It will spin in a centrifuge and then be re-injected into the treatment areas.
When it comes to fat, Dr. Jindal will numb the area thoroughly with injections and topical creams. He will then use gentle liposuction to extract fat. The fat is then cleaned and injected into the treatment areas. This procedure usually takes longer because the liposuction—while minimally invasive—is surgical.
Aftercare & Continued Sessions
Natural fillers—except for fat transfer—often require multiple sessions to create and promote the best results. With plasma injections, Dr. Jindal recommends undergoing injections every four to eight weeks initially and then once or twice a year after the initial round.
As far as aftercare, Dr. Jindal may provide instructions such as:
Natural filler injections are safe to inject anywhere you can receive traditional dermal fillers. This includes:
● Lips
● Chin
● Jaw
● Tear troughs
● Nose
● Temples
● Smile lines
● Marionette lines
● Cheeks/midface
● Hands
Due to platelet rich fibrin’s better safety profile than fillers, there are more places you may be able to undergo the treatment. Discuss all of your goals and problems with Dr. Jindal and he can create a customized plan.
There are some minor risks associated with any injection procedure. Fat transfer does have the largest risks out of the natural filler options, but is still widely considered safe. Some of the risks of natural fillers include:
● Infection
● Bleeding
● Prolonged or worsened bruising
● Nerve damage
● Small risk of occlusion with PRF (much less risk than traditional fillers)
