What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like solutions made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance inside the body that keeps the skin hydrated and supple. As we age, levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, and this depletion leads to dehydrated skin and formation of wrinkles. Dermal fillers can help to improve aging signs by hydrating the skin, smoothing out fine lines, restore lost volume, soften facial creases and beautify facial contour. When injected beneath the skin, the hyaluronic acid will fill up the wrinkles so that the skin will look plumper and more even. It is also commonly used to plump up lips, giving a sexier and more youthful look. Since hyaluronic acid is natural, it is cleared as safe to be injected into the skin. Suitable for those who want to return the skin to its original youthful state without undergoing surgery.
How It Works
Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the soft connective tissues, keeping the tissues hydrated and firm. So when it is injected in areas such as nasolabial folds, glabellar lines, cheeks and others, the hyaluronic acid formulation in the dermal fillers acts as a support to facial structures and tissues that have lost volume. It binds water molecules, ensuring the skin to be hydrated and plump. It also helps the skin to be supple, fresh, smooth and lifted.
