What Is a Dermal Filler?
A dermal filler is a biocompatible substance that is injected into the skin to help add fullness to areas that may be losing their elasticity, or to minimize wrinkles. Many fillers are made from a substance called hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally throughout the body including in the skin, eyes, joints, and more. It has many uses in the body such as helping to keep the skin and bones healthy, providing lubrication, and helping with moisture retention. Because your body already naturally uses hyaluronic acid, it can be an ideal substance for using in dermal fillers.
Other dermal fillers may be made using calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA. CaHA is also a substance found in the body. It helps the body to make collagen so it not only functions as a filler, but can also be used to help stimulate collagen production.
What Areas Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
Dermal fillers can be used in many different areas of the face. Because fillers vary in texture and thickness, the specific locations and uses will depend on the product that is used and the recommendations of your doctor. Fillers are commonly used in areas such as:
- Lips: Lip fillers are used to smooth out lipstick lines around the mouth and to plump lips. Often, less is more when it comes to lip fillers. We help you achieve plump lips while making sure you still look like you.
- Cheeks: The skin on the cheeks can become hollow or start to sag as it loses its subcutaneous fat and elasticity. Cheek fillers can be used to restore a more youthful volume to these areas and lift them again, and they can also help with acne scarring.
- Forehead Lines: Horizontal forehead lines can be distressing for some people. Dermal fillers can be used in this area to fill in lines and wrinkles.
- Nasolabial Folds: If deep nasolabial are making your face appear more tired, fillers can help smooth this area, helping you look more refreshed.
- Jaw and Chin: Fillers can also be used to create small changes in the chin and jaw area. They can help create a chisled jawline or a more prominent chin.
