Soft Dermal Fillers

Soft fillers are the variation of injectable Hyaluronic Acid gel products, which are purposed for the removal of shallow skin lines and wrinkles. Their properties are characterized by the small grain size and them being relatively less thick.

There is a certain overlapping between soft and lip fillers as generally lip fillers are softer, by definition, and usually good soft fillers are appropriate for lip enhancement even if not specifically marketed as “lip fillers”.  Soft fillers usually combine their effect with skin rejuvenation and have powerful hydrating properties. It's possible to brand one a "superficial lip filler". They are an excellent solution to bringing back the youthful look of the skin and restoring the natural volume.

Soft fillers are specially made to give natural results, in other words to make it as if the injected gel is actually natural muscle tissues under the skin.

Good dermal fillers are very stable, meaning that once properly injected it is to remain in the area where place, without any noticeable deformation or “leaking” to other areas. This ensures that wrinkles and lines are naturally “hidden” without disproportionate deposits of fillers forming underneath the skin.

Soft dermal fillers are not thick enough to be used for proper facial sculpting, but they truly shine when applied to more delicate tasks. Very fine lines and superficial wrinkles cannot be treated with a hard filler, with large grain size. But it's a great option for something like tear trough filler for wrinkles. It is hardly a surprise that a lot of the brands opt to name their equivalent HA filler “Fine” (“Soft” being the other popular name of choice).

It is necessary for the patient to consult with their plastic surgeon to properly determine the right soft filler to use depending on the area which will be injected, but also taking into consideration additional, not last of which is the actual preferred of the patient and the result that they want.
