Dermal fillers are cosmetic treatments used to restore volume and integrity to the skin to diminish fine lines and produce collagen over time creating a long-lasting youthful appearance.
Our faces naturally lose volume as we age, and dermal fillers are used to restore or enhance volume. Fillers are used to plump lips, enhance facial contours, and soften wrinkles. This procedure is quick and requires no downtime. Results are immediately noticeable and can last up to 2 years depending on the type of filler used.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
The most common type of dermal fillers is based on Hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring sugar found in human skin. Hyaluronic acid based products restore volume to the skin to correct wrinkles and folds and plump lips. Fillers may also be used for a jowl lift and to define the jawline. The effects of Hyaluronic acid based fillers may last up to 24 months.
