Dermal fillers are used to help improve your overall facial appearance. The most commonly used fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule found in our skin. Aging causes the skin to lose its fullness (called deflation) which then allows the skin to loosen and fall (called descent). Dermal fillers counteract these effects of aging by replacing lost collagen and fatty tissue, all while enhancing a youthful, plump facial shape. Men and women alike can use dermal fillers to create a more youthful facial and lip contour. They can also be used to hydrate and plump the skin for immediately satisfying results.
