Shortest duration derma filler?

Question

I need to get treatment for facial balancing but I don’t feel comfortable with ha fillers because they retain water and last a long time or radiesse. Is there any filler ( eg collagen) that lasts very weeks or months? Money is not an issue. I rather play it safe.

Many people are turning away from artificial fillers and choosing natural alternatives. Collagen is not readily available anymore to use as a filler. The skin test kit for Bellafill is collagen that can be injected but comes in 0.3cc syringes which is good for treating a very small defect. The best solution for you would be to use PRF or PRP Gel. AutoCorre is a procedure that uses your own plasma to create a gel and combined with ultra concentrated PRP to stimulate your own collagen. You get instant volume which does go away after a few weeks but then your own collagen comes in to create new skin and volume. The results are very natural looking and there is no risk of long term side effects because it is made from your own blood.

The shortest lasting HA filler metabolizes over 6-12 months, but it may or may not be a good choice for the area you are wishing to treat.  When using fillers you can go as slowly as you'd like and build up to the result you are wanting.  If using an HA filler, the product can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with the results.  I encourage you to begin by visiting with an experienced injector near you.  Review you concerns.  Look at before/after photos of the injector's work.  And be sure to ask questions.  I've included a video about fillers that I hope you find helpful.

Hi, thank you for your question! I would recommend a product called Ez gel. EZ gel is a 100% natural gel enhancer crafted from your body's own Albumin and Natural Growth Factors. This innovative solution offers immediate volume enhancement, while it gradually releases growth factors over time. EZ Gel works wonders in rejuvenating the skin on your entire face, leaving it looking remarkably younger and healthier. Specifically designed as a safe and excellent alternative to traditional dermal fillers, especially for the delicate under-eye area.

Fibrin and albumin are proteins found in the blood and are crucial for various biological functions, including wound healing and maintaining the structural integrity of tissues. In the context of creating a natural "filler," these proteins are taken from your blood, isolated and then heated and cooled to form a gel-like substance.

Once injected, the gel gradually releases growth factors and other bioactive molecules over time, promoting natural tissue regeneration and rejuvenation. This process harnesses the body's own healing mechanisms, making it a natural and safe alternative or addition to traditional synthetic fillers. Using the power of your own blood to heal and rejuvenate!

The shortest duration soft tissue fillers commonly used in the U.S. are the HA fillers. They are very well studied. They typically have a lifespan of 6-12 months. If you decide you don't like the look of the HA filler, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which is an enzyme that breaks down HA. You could also start by just having a small amount of HA filler injected, see how it looks over a period of time, and then add more as desired.
The other commonly used fillers last longer. Calcium hydroxylapatite filler (Radiesse) usually lasts over 12 months. Poly-L-lactic acid filler (Sculptra) can last up to 24 months.
