Question 6

What is in a dermal filler?

Accepted Answer

Dermal fillers (also called soft tissue fillers) are soft injectable gels that contain bio-compatible hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in your skin. The hyaluronic acid found in dermal fillers is manufactured in a lab and is not from an animal source. They are called dermal fillers because the hyaluronic acid naturally increases moisture, restoring volume to your skin.

Several companies make dermal fillers. We use Juvederm, Belotero, Restylane, and Teosyal fillers.

Question 7

What are dermal fillers used for?

Accepted Answer

In the aging process, our skin produces less hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. With time, this results in wrinkles (smile lines, frown lines, crow's feet, vertical lip lines, marionette lines, etc.).

Dermal fillers are used to add volume to treat fine lines and even deep lines and wrinkles by filling out sagging skin, enhancing facial contours, and restoring a smoother, more natural look. They can also be used as a lip filler to give more volume to thin lips and other areas of the body such as the hands, feet, and neck.

The benefits of an injectable treatment of hyaluronic acid dermal filler is that it can be done quickly, with little or no downtime, causes only mild discomfort, and gives immediate results -- even in the case of deep wrinkles. Moreover, dermal filler cost is only a fraction of that of a surgical procedure.
