Girls from Moscow to Vladivostok want to make themselves the coveted “Jolie profile” or lips like Kendall Jenner. The advantage of facial correction with fillers over plastic is that the filler tends to be removed from the tissues naturally after a certain time. How long the correction will last depends on the quality of the filler chosen by the specialist. Ideally, if the patient is satisfied with the result for a year, but you can often notice how after three months or even less, patients are indignant at how quickly the expensive, literally and figuratively, volumes in the lips or cheekbones disappeared. Useful tips on choosing a filler for lip augmentation will help you not to face such a situation. And to make the characteristics more visual, we propose to consider them using the example of the popular Italian-made iFiller filler.
1. phase
Lip augmentation fillers come in monophasic and biophasic. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.
In monophasic, all molecules and particles are of the same size, therefore, when administered, they are distributed as needed - evenly. This allows you to use them not only for lip augmentation, but also for rejuvenation procedures.Compared to biophasic ones, they are more flexible and elastic, therefore they are easily inserted under the skin, can be corrected immediately after the procedure, their distribution can be corrected by external influence, that is, with fingers. Another plus is that the adjustment effect disappears gradually.
Biophasic fillers are good in that they consist of high density particles and have stabilizing crosslinks between the molecules of the active substance. They are more stable, which significantly increases the duration of the correction effect. The only negative is that the structural features affect the distribution of the drug in the tissues. After the introduction, it will be very problematic to fix something. So when using biophase gels, a cosmetologist should choose the most professional, reputable master of his craft.
2. Density
The density of the filler is mainly affected by two indicators - the concentration of hyaluronic acid and elasticity. The higher the concentration of the active substance, the denser the drug, which means that it will remain in the tissues for a long time. In some cases, the same company may produce fillers with different characteristics, so that the user has a choice depending on the desired result. For example, iFiller is available in three versions at once. This is one of the reasons why it is considered one of the best for lip augmentation and other types of correction.
Concentration of stabilized hyaluronic acid:
- Soft - 15 mg/ml
- Medium - 20mg/ml
- Strong - 25 mg/ml
With regard to elasticity, it affects the susceptibility or resistance of a substance to deformation, also affecting the duration of the effect.
3. cohesiveness
Cohesiveness is a very important criterion. He is responsible for the fact that the injected substance will remain exactly where it was originally.That is, the lips after the increase with the help of the filler will keep their shape well. This can be achieved by using preparations of larger particles. They will help to avoid such complications as filler migration. For example, as we said, iFiller offers three options. Naturally, in this case, it is worth choosing a more expensive, but persistent filler.
Degree of stabilization:
- Soft - low
- Medium - medium
- Strong - high
4. Binder
Despite the fact that hyaluronic acid manufacturers claim that it does not cause allergies, you need to be aware of the impurities that may be contained in it - binding agents. The better the drug is purified, the lower the risk for the patient in terms of developing allergies and other side effects. Binders are different. At the moment, 1,4 butanediol diglycidyl ether or simply BDDE is considered the safest. That is why you should not take risks by choosing fillers of dubious production. Many so-called European brands source raw materials from China, where there are no strict quality standards.
In the Italian fillers iFiller, hyaluronic acid is produced at its own factory in Milan, by the world famous company PROMOITALIA. This guarantees the high quality of the product, since European standards are strictly formulated by law, and deviation from them can lead to the closure of production. They use BDDE of varying degrees of purification. There are other good fillers out there, but this is by far the best and safest option. Below, notice the asterisks after BDDE. They mean that the amount of binding agent in the preparation is minimal.
Coupling agent:
- Soft-BDDE+
- Medium-BDDE++
- Strong-BDDE+++
5. Manufacturer and registration certificate
The last, but one of the most important criteria is the manufacturer and the presence of a medical registration certificate for the product offered to cosmetologists. At the moment, several companies are leading the market in this area - Juvederm, Restylane and PROMOITALIA. The latter is the developer of the product we have already mentioned - iFiller. Undoubtedly, all three brands are good, they are actively used in plastic cosmetology and meet modern standards. But we considered the criteria for choosing a filler using the example of iFiller for a reason. So far, this is one of the few companies that openly provides complete information about its product, including offering to get acquainted with the registration certificate. Therefore, at the moment it can be called one of the best options - a proven manufacturer that has been producing cosmetic products for over 20 years and all the necessary documents confirming their safety.
As a conclusion. If you decide to make a lip augmentation, it does not matter which product you decide to use - the innovative iFiller or some other well-established among cosmetologists. It is important to choose a really great specialist who will do everything right. If you are a cosmetologist and value your reputation, then you should pay attention to fillers certified in Europe and Russia - iFiller. They meet the main modern trends: a natural result, the absence of undesirable reactions and a prolonged correction result. In Russia, the iFiller brand is exclusively represented by Elia Grazia.
