Dermal Fillers

 

Injectable cosmetic fillers are injected into the skin to help fill in facial wrinkles, restoring a smoother appearance. Most of these wrinkle fillers are temporary because they are eventually absorbed by the body. Some people may need more than one injection to achieve the wrinkle-smoothing effect. The effect lasts for about six months or longer. Successful results depend on health of the skin, skill of the doctor, type of filler used

 

Hyaluronic acid is a common ingredient in injectable filler. Hyaluronic acid fillers have become popular soft tissue filler augmentation agents over the past several years. They have helped revolutionize the filler market with a number of new products available for use for patients.

How Fillers Work

  • filling in wrinkles, fine lines and deep creases

  • improving other imperfections like scars

  • filling out thin or wrinkled lips

  • plumping up cheeks

  • contouring the jaw line and other areas of the face
