Since 1981, cosmetic derma filler applications have taken
over as the inexpensive version to going under the knife. Almost replacing
facelifts as a whole, those who simply want to hide wrinkles and avoid aging
gracefully opt for toxic injections instead. But not only can those cause all
sorts of nasty side effects on their own, the filling substances are also
breeding grounds for bacteria. Without proper microbiological quality
assurance applied, you could lose a lot more than a few wrinkles.
The earliest fillers were made of animal-based collagen, from cows at first.
The substance reacted badly in the human body and typically caused severe
allergic reactions. While Bovine injections are still available due to their
lack of expense, allergic testing is required before a professional will
administer the product. Human collagen fillers entered the market in 2002.
Testing is rarely needed for that since far fewer allergic reactions are cited
with the human product. It is, however, more expensive than the Bovine option. Acid fillers are relatively new. Some of the most popular brands are created from a series of toxic acids that are injected into your derma layers. Fat injections are also available. In the case of those, your own fat is removed usually from your buttocks, thighs, or stomach and injected into your face. If administered professionally, which is the only way it should ever be done, it’s quite easy to focus on the handsome doctor, the temperature-controlled atmosphere, and the positive words of how fabulous you’ll look afterwards; hence forgetting about the high levels of toxins being shot into your body.
In the event of any of the derma fillers, side effects are serious concerns. While typical claims are that redness, swelling, white bumps, and even puss-filled boils are short-lived inconveniences of the procedure; quite often they stick around longer than expected, and in some cases are even permanent. In the event of untested fillers, pathogens such as Candida albicans, Staph aureus and E coli can multiply within the toxic soup and cause even further damage, including bumps or lesions similar to Herpes and blindness. The reaction, known as Biofilm, is resistant to antibiotic treatment once it latches onto the human body.
Doctors will sometimes argue that this rarely happens, and that in most cases it’s the fault of the patient. They’re wrong on both counts. A patient simply wants a procedure done. The side effects of that procedure, especially in the event of derma fillers, have little if anything to do with the individual receiving the treatment. 1 in 100 – to 1 in 1,000 units, dependant specifically on the type of filler, becomes tainted with bacteria. While this can just lead to swelling or vision problems, it can also cause permanent and irreparable facial disfigurement. Acid-based fillers are the most common ones for pathogens, though other types may also become tainted.
Microbiological testing is imperative to tackling these pathogens prior to entering your body. Cosmetic chemists use specific microbiology instruments to count, alienate, and treat the potential growth before it spreads to an uncontrollable level. The best decision, of course, is to avoid toxins period. But if your desire to avoid aging gracefully overrides the risks, at least insist your fillers are microbiologically tested first. If your medical professional can’t prove that, or refuses to, find one who will. It’s only your life, after all.
