Understanding Nasolabial Folds
Before understanding how to improve nasolabial folds, let's take a look at the "causes of nasolabial fold formation."
As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and collagen, making it less resilient and prone to developing wrinkles and nasolabial folds. This is referred to as "aging-type nasolabial folds." Another type is "muscle-type nasolabial folds," which can form due to the overuse of facial muscles, especially those around the corners of the mouth. There's also a "bone-type nasolabial fold" that is caused by congenital features such as prominent cheekbones, concave nasal bases, and a bone structure that leads to deeper nasolabial folds.
The depth of nasolabial folds varies from person to person, ranging from fine lines to deeper creases. Nasolabial folds can give the impression of fatigue and aging, affecting one's youthful appearance and overall vitality. If you are concerned about nasolabial folds, you can consult with a medical aesthetic clinic to explore further solutions.
What is MegaFill? and What Are Its Effects?
Nasolabial folds are dynamic facial areas, constantly affected by facial expressions. Traditional dermal fillers often face issues related to absorption. In recent years, MegaFill has gained popularity as a new form of dermal filler, suitable for filling the following areas:
- Nasolabial folds
- Nose bridge
- Nasal dorsum (the bridge of the nose)
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial fold
- Temporal area
- Chin
So, what is MegaFill? MegaFill is essentially human skin donated by individuals. It undergoes a special sterilization process to remove its biological components while preserving the extracellular matrix (ECM). The extracellular matrix is like the backbone of a house, composed of proteins like collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans. When implanted into the body, usually within 1 to 6 months, collagen fibers and elastin protein become thicker and denser, continuously growing and integrating with the existing tissues. This process results in the development of new collagen, blood vessels, fibroblasts, and more.
As a result, the skin at the site where MegaFill is implanted regains its elasticity, fullness, and achieves a filling effect.
Advantages of Hyaluronic Acid:
After understanding the characteristics of foreign body dermal powder, let's now explore the advantages of hyaluronic acid and why it can be combined with foreign body dermal powder, serving as a powerful 2-in-1 solution for nasolabial fold filling:
1.High Compatibility:
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin, making it highly compatible with our skin's structure. This reduces the burden and risk on the body when using hyaluronic acid fillers. When mixed and injected with AlloDerm, it can naturally integrate and even provide additional hydration to the collagen tissues growing due to AlloDerm.
2.Skin Filling:
Hyaluronic acid has excellent moisturizing properties. It can absorb and retain moisture within the skin, increasing skin hydration and elasticity. Additionally, it can fill fine lines and wrinkles in the skin, making it appear fuller and smoother.
3.Hydration:
Hyaluronic acid's hydrating effect is significant. It can quickly penetrate deep into the skin, providing immediate moisture replenishment for dry and dehydrated skin. This not only enhances the skin's appearance but also increases the skin's overall hydration, making it look younger and healthier.
Savior for Nasolabial Folds: MegaFill + Hyaluronic Acid
Why are more and more people choosing the combination of MegaFill and hyaluronic acid to improve nasolabial folds? It's because these two dermal fillers, when combined, offer the following advantages:
1. Enhanced Filling Effect:
The combination of MegaFill and hyaluronic acid allows for thorough filling of the depressed areas in nasolabial folds and smoothens the skin, achieving wrinkle reduction. With the unique technique of Mumake, we first inject MegaFill into a small "pyramid-shaped structure" at the base of the nose. This allows MegaFill to harness its structural capabilities, promoting the continuous growth of collagen at the base, ensuring the effectiveness of the procedure. On the top layer, we inject the highly elastic hyaluronic acid in a fan-shaped gel pattern along the triangular area of the nose base. This creates a natural effect, while hyaluronic acid provides moisture, increasing skin elasticity and fullness, making the filling effect more pronounced.
2.Long-lasting Moisturizing Effect:
Hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturizing ingredient that can form a protective film on the skin's surface to prevent moisture loss. Combining the use of both heterologous dermal powder and hyaluronic acid can achieve both filling and moisturizing effects, helping the skin maintain its moisture and elasticity, and delaying the aging process.
3.Natural and Immediate Results:
The combination of heterologous dermal powder and hyaluronic acid can produce more natural, long-lasting, and immediate results. Heterologous dermal powder fills the depressions in the nasolabial folds, restoring smooth skin, while hyaluronic acid fills the overall skin, increasing skin fullness. This combination delivers instant improvements in the skin's appearance, providing noticeable results in a short period.
The charge of MegaFill + Hyaluronic Acid
MegaFill is typically priced at approximately 35,000 to 50,000TWD per unit, while hyaluronic acid starts at around 12,000 TWD and can go up to 25,000TWD or more per treatment. The combined cost of these treatments can vary depending on factors such as the clinic's pricing, the treatment approach, and the experience of the physician. It's advisable to contact clinics directly to inquire about their specific treatment options and get a customized price quote.
How long does the effect of combining MegaFill + Hyaluronic Acid for nasolabial fold filling last?
The duration of the filling effect of MegaFill combined with hyaluronic acid can vary depending on individual factors and the type of filler used. Generally, the filling effect of MegaFill combined with hyaluronic acid may last around one to two years. Since MegaFill stimulates the growth of the skin's collagen, subsequent treatments can contribute to further reducing the appearance of marionette lines over time. The specific duration of the effect depends on the following factors:
1.Individual Physiology:
Personal factors such as metabolism and skin condition can impact the longevity of the filling effect. Some individuals may metabolize the filler more quickly, resulting in a shorter-lasting effect.
2.Injection Technique:
The skill and expertise of the practitioner performing the injections can influence the longevity of the filling effect. Treatments performed by experienced plastic surgeons or dermatologists who have a deep understanding of skin texture typically have longer-lasting results.
3.Type of Filler Used:
Different types of hyaluronic acid fillers have varying durations of effectiveness, depending on factors like the specific formulation, the volume injected, and the treatment area.
It's important to consult with a qualified medical professional who can assess your individual needs and provide guidance on the most appropriate treatment options based on your desired outcomes and skin characteristics. They can also give you a better estimate of how long the effect is likely to last for your specific case.
Precautions and Post-Treatment Care
1.Consultation with a Professional Physician:
Before undergoing MegaFill and hyaluronic acid injections, it's advisable to seek the advice of a professional physician. A doctor can assess your individual health and needs, providing a suitable treatment plan.
2.Potential Side Effects and Risks:
