What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels that restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. There are various types of FDA-approved dermal fillers, each designed to address specific concerns. As we age, our faces lose volume, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and a hollow appearance. Dermal fillers can effectively restore this lost volume, creating a more youthful and refreshed look.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers:
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles: Fillers effectively diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
- Enhance facial contours: Fillers can add volume to cheeks, lips, and chin, creating a more balanced and youthful profile.
- Hydrate skin: Some fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which attracts moisture and plumps the skin.
- Immediate results: Many patients see immediate improvement after the procedure.
- Long-lasting effects: Results can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
