Gel injections and fillers have differences, but actually gels are a type of skin filler. Not all types of dermal fillers are considered gels. In fact, semi-permanent and permanent fillers are types of gels. It should be noted that gels are generally not used due to side effects. Filler injection creates a more natural appearance than gel injection. For all these reasons, filler injections have more fans these days. Injections of temporary fillers, as fillers are generally made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Using this material is very useful for beauty.
How long are the results of gel and filler injections?
The durability of gel injection results depends on the type of product, the treated area and of course the effectiveness of the patient’s body. The deeper the injection and the thicker the gel, the more effective it will be. Of course, this rule is not always true. To maintain the results, it is better to repeat the treatment several times. If necessary, the surgeon can change the amount and method of injection to achieve better and more lasting results. Gels based on hyaluronic acid have a shorter shelf life, and for this reason, this gel is usually recommended for patients who use this cosmetic procedure for the first time. The effect of these gels disappears between 6 and 18 months. The effect of lip injection is shorter than the laugh line.
Some HA fillers, such as Veluma, are more durable, but their use is limited to certain areas such as cheeks. Also, artificial gels last longer because the body does not absorb these gels. Therefore, this type of gel is a good choice for patients who are satisfied and confident with the treatment and its results. In any case, you should know that the result of injecting this type of gel will remain on your face for several years, so be sure to choose an experienced and qualified specialist for this job, whose work style you like.
