What Are Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are gel like substances most commonly based on stabilised hyaluronic acid that are injected under the skin to restore volume fill wrinkles and sculpt facial contours Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in human tissues and attracts water providing hydration and plumpness Specially formulated fillers can safely and predictably replenish age related volume loss in the midface lips nasolabial folds and jawline when used by trained practitioners
