What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are products that are injected into soft tissue to restore volume and natural fullness to the face.

While they can be comprised of a variety of substances, including poly-L-lactic acid, PMMA microspheres, and calcium hydroxylapatite, many are made of hyaluronic acid.

That’s because hyaluronic acid has a low risk of allergic reaction and can provide immediate volumizing and hydrating effects.

Additionally, volumizing fillers, that are very thick, are used to correct significant volume depletion and skin laxity.

Do Fillers Provide Natural Results?

The purpose of dermal fillers is to restore the natural contours and fullness of the face that have been lost to aging.

Therefore, in the hands of a skilled and experienced injector, these cosmetic injectables can help patients look younger and refreshed without appearing overfilled or done. 

How Long to Fillers Effects Last?

Depending on the product, fillers effects can last six months to one-and-a-half or two years.
