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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
