Dermal fillers are a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in skin and throughout our bodies. Hyaluronic acid binds water and hydrates our skin as well as promoting volume and elasticity. As we age, our skin’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid decreases and as a result our skin becomes lined and our faces lose volume. Dermal fillers are an immediate and effective way of replacing lost volume and filling out deep lines and folds giving a softer, more youthful appearance. The results last between 6-12 months and retreatments tend to increase the longevity of the effects.
