This Fillerina in Kenya Review will attempt to answer some of the most common questions about this ground-breaking injection-free filler.
What is Fillerina?
Fillerina is a topical dermal filler. This means that it is a substance that is applied on the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. This cosmetic product which has a Swiss patent is also applied on the lips to plump them.
What does Fillerina contain?
Fillerina contains hyaluronic acid which is a substance that is naturally found in human skin. It is able to attract and retains up to 1000 times its weight in water. As a result it is able to keep the skin hydrated and plumped.
These effects have made it a powerful anti-aging ingredient since the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body decreases as we age. Consequently anti-aging face creams, serums, injections and Fillerina contain hyaluronic acid because it plumps up the skin by filling wrinkles as well as expression lines like the smile lines around the mouth. It also restores the skin’s suppleness and improves the skin’s elasticity which all reduce the signs of aging.
Hyaluronic acid is also important for the skin regeneration process. This is due to the fact that it regulates inflammation and angiogenesis which is the development of new blood vessels in the area with damaged skin.
What are the advantages of using Fillerina?
1. Fillerina does not need to be injected into the skin.
Traditional fillers like Restylane and Juvederm also contain hyaluronic acid. However, their molecules are too big to penetrate the skin when they are applied on the skin. Consequently, they have to be injected into the skin.
Fillerina on the other hand uses hyaluronic acid molecules that small enough to penetrate the skin. It therefore does not need to be injected since it can simply be applied on the skin. This makes it a great plus for persons who do not like injections.
2. Fillerina is used at home without having to visit a Dermatologist or Aesthetician.
3. Fillerina comes with a precision applicator which ensures right dosage is used. Its easy-to-dispense packaging makes it easy to use.
4. Fillerina is less expensive than traditional injectable fillers.
5. Fillerina is fragrance free which is great for persons with sensitive skin and allergies.
6. Fillerina is great for persons who do not have the time to stay away from work for a few days as your skin heals after having other skin rejuvenation procedures like chemical peels.
What are the disadvantages of using Fillerina?
1. Fillerina gives weaker results
The skin has 3 layers – the topmost epidermis, the dermis which is directly below it and the hypodermis which is below the dermis and is also known as the subcutaneous layer.
Injectable fillers which contain hyaluronic acid like Restylane are injected into the dermis layer of the skin and are approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe face wrinkles and folds.
Fillerina does not penetrate through the epidermis to reach the deeper layers of the skin like the dermis. Its effects are therefore weaker or less dramatic when compared to those achived after having the fillers injected deep into the skin.
2. Fillerina effects last for a shorter duration
Fillerina effects on the skin last for 3 to 4 months which is a shorter duration when compared to the 6 months of injectable fillers like Restylane.
3. Fillerina requires commitment
Using Fillerina requires dedication since it has to be applied on the skin every day for 14 days. Injectable fillers on the other hand only require a visit to the doctor every 6 months.
