Dermal Fillers are injectable gels consisting of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume.
With increasing age, the concentration of hyaluronic acid in the tissue decreases and the skin loses its elasticity. Our face loses volume much like that a deflated balloon. This leads to excess skin tissue around the neck and chin, as well as the formation of deep wrinkles around the lower eyelid, across the nasolabial fold and down to the neck.
When tiny amounts of this filler are injected into the skin using a very fine needle, the results are immediate. Using dermal fillers, volumetric lifting and facial sculpting can be performed to enhance certain features and contour faces.
