What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected into the skin to restore lost volume or add volume to certain areas of the face. The most common types of dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that helps keep the skin hydrated and plump. Other types of fillers may contain collagen, calcium hydroxylapatite, or polylactic acid.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers work by filling in wrinkles, adding volume to areas of the face, and stimulating collagen production for a more youthful appearance. When injected into targeted areas of the face, they can smooth out lines and wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and restore lost volume. The results are instant and can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on the type of filler used.
Areas of the Face That Can Be Treated with Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance and rejuvenate various areas of the face, including:
- Lips: Dermal fillers can add volume and definition to thin or asymmetrical lips.
- Cheeks: By adding volume to the cheeks, dermal fillers can provide a more youthful and lifted appearance.
- Nasolabial folds: These are the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Dermal fillers can soften these lines for a smoother look.
- Marionette lines: These are vertical lines that form at the corners of the mouth. Dermal fillers can help minimize their appearance.
- Under-eye area: Dermal fillers can reduce dark circles and hollows under the eyes, creating a more rested and rejuvenated appearance.
