Dermal Fillers

As a result of ageing, sun damage, worry, gravity, and other environmental factors, our facial skin begins to develop lines and wrinkles. This is a manifestation of skin ageing. It is possible to smooth out folds and wrinkles using dermal fillers to give the face a more relaxed and youthful appearance. This is also used to augment specific parts of the face such as the lips. There are many types of fillers in the market these days, and it can be very confusing when deciding on the appropriate product to use. Some of the most famous dermal fillers in the market are: Restyllane, AQUAMID, and Matridex. The chosen filler material is injected into the lines and defects to plump them out and then remains in the skin where it binds with water to produce a lift and firmness to the treated areas. The filler material is introduced into the skin by a simple injection technique, usually without the need for local anesthetics. For example, facial contouring of the cheek and chin dimples can be achieved using dermal fillers to smooth out the hollows and alter the facial contour. The exact type of filler chosen will depend on the site of treatment and the degree of correction required.
