What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to soften wrinkles, lines, and hollow areas of the face, as well as to add volume and contour to other areas of the face. They are commonly used in cosmetic procedures to restore a more youthful appearance and to enhance facial features.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most used dermal fillers as they attract and hold onto water creating a plumping effect under the skin. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a type of dermal filler made from a substance that is naturally found in the body. HA is a sugar molecule that is present in the skin, joints, and other tissues, where it helps to maintain hydration and volume. In dermal fillers, HA is cross-linked to form a gel-like substance that is injected into the skin. They are also reversible if any complications occur.
