How Hyaluronic Acid -Based Fillers Work

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers use a natural sugar (hyaluronic acid) found in the body to add volume and smooth shallow wrinkles.

When injected, the filler instantly plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Hyaluronic acid’s water-attracting property ensures continued hydration and long-lasting results, giving you a natural and rejuvenated look.

How Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers Work

Poly-L-lactic acid fillers (PLLA) are synthetic materials that are injected into the skin to treat deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.

Once injected, PLLA fillers break down into smaller particles that stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that gives the skin its structure and elasticity.

The results of PLLA filler treatment that improves gradually over time and can last for up to 5 years (average 24 months), but may not last as long in people who smoke or have certain medical conditions.

PLLA fillers are generally well-tolerated. In addition to the face, Sculptra can also treat the neck, décolletage, hands, buttocks, and thighs, offering a versatile solution for overall rejuvenation.

The number of Sculptra vials typically recommended is based on the patient’s age and the level of collagen loss. Here’s a general guideline:

• 30s: 2-3 vials
• 40s: 3-4 vials
• 50s: 4-5 vials
• 60s and beyond: 5-6 vials

These recommendations help achieve optimal collagen stimulation and restore facial volume progressively. The number of vials may vary depending on individual needs and aesthetic goals. Treatment is often spaced out over a few sessions of 2 vials per session for best results.

How Does Radiesse Work?

This versatile filler works immediately to restore volume through a gel carrier.

It also gradually stimulates collagen through calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microsphere which stimulate the body’s collagen-producing cells called fibroblastes.

Radiesse also improves the skins overall quality and texture. 

The duration of Radiesse results can vary, depending on factors like individual metabolism, but averages 12-18 months.

NCTF^® BOOST 135 HA (New Cellular Treatment Factor) is a mesotherapy solution designed to revitalize the skin by delivering a potent blend of over 50 active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. This cocktail of nutrients works at a cellular level to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall tone, making it an ideal treatment for dull, tired, or aging skin.

Common Uses and Protocol
NCTF is commonly injected into the skin through a series of micro-injections, targeting areas such as the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. The treatment protocol usually involves 3-5 sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 3-6 months. Results are often noticeable after the first session, with optimal results appearing after the full protocol is completed. The effects of NCTF include improved skin texture, radiance, and firmness, lasting several months as it works to restore skin vitality from within.

Combination with Other Treatments
NCTF can be effectively combined with other treatments, such as microneedling, to enhance skin rejuvenation. When paired with microneedling, NCTF is absorbed more deeply into the skin, boosting collagen production and amplifying the results of both treatments. This combination is excellent for reducing fine lines, improving skin texture, and enhancing overall skin health, offering a comprehensive approach to anti-aging and revitalization.
