How to work with body fillers

The global anti-aging dermal fillers for sale market has reached at a value of 54.5 Billion USD and is expected to grow by another 30 billion USD by 2026.¹ The need for minimally invasive or non-surgical procedures for face and body cosmetic enhancements are also growing increasingly popular due to their cost-effectiveness and minimal down time. Body fillers is a growing trend especially among people who prefer non-surgical or minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to achieve a desired body shape. Technology advancements and research investments have made it possible to correct lax knee, elbows, arms, thighs and enhance claves, buttocks & breasts, as well as improve skin elasticity all over the body such as hands, neck, abdomen or décolletage using body fillers. 

The use of fillers started as early as the 80s when the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of bovine collagen for facial reconstructive treatments. Thereafter, various permanent solutions and gels were used as dermal fillers, however, due to the increased incidences of acute allergic reactions and chronic inflammatory reactions, the use of stabilized and biocompatible hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for facial and body corrections became an accepted practice. Body compatible HA fillers have higher viscosity as they can help correct deformities without any resistance or displacements.

Let’s take a look at the three body fillers available at Top Dermal online shop.

HYAcorp MLF1 – Dermal fillers for sale

HYAcorp MLF1 is a special filler used on small body areas such as the hands, calves, or small body deformities. The filler is a cross linked biphasic HA filler used to contour body defects and augment areas such as the hands, breasts, calves and surgical/trauma scars. The depth of the injection and the injection technique depends on the areas to be injected.  Fanning or asterisks technique is preferred for the upper lateral buttocks, inner arms and abdomen, whereas linear threading is used to correct the neck and knee skin laxities.⁴  

HYAcorp MLF2 – Dermal fillers for sale

HYAcorp MLF2 is a high purity non-animal origin HA filler used for volumizing and contouring of large areas of the body. This cross-linked filler is specially designed to enhance silhouette of the body and correct concave deformities with predictable long-lasting results. 

Despite similar concentrations of HA, the difference between HYAcorp MLF1 and HYAcorp MLF2 is the particle size. HYAcorp MLF2 have larger particle sizes and hence can be used on larger areas of the body such as the buttocks, however HYAcorp MLF2 cannot be used for augmentation of breasts and genitals.
