As we age, our skin loses elasticity and our face muscles and fat begin to thin out, resulting in wrinkles and less smooth and full-looking skin. However, dermal fillers can address these age-related skin changes by smoothing out lines, restoring lost volume, and plumping up the skin. Dermal fillers consist of gel-like substances such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid, which are injected beneath the skin to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and provide a more youthful look. This minimally invasive procedure typically requires minimal downtime. The duration of the results may vary depending on the type of filler used. Some dermal fillers can last between 6 to 12 months, while others can last more. Hyaluronic acid fillers, which are the most commonly used fillers, can also aid in the production of collagen and elastin, giving your skin structure, plumpness, and a more hydrated look.
