As you age the amount of collagen in your skin decreases causing skin laxity and loss of volume. Dermal Fillers, which are Hyaluronic Acid based injections, effectively reduce wrinkles and folds by adding volume to sagging skin, smoothing wrinkles and creases to make you look younger. Volume loss of fat and muscle in the face are a natural progression of ageing, which causes the skin and tissue to sag making you appear older.

Dermal fillers are a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment used to enhance facial features or gain a more youthful appearance by lifting and plumping your cheeks, lips, and jawline. As you age the amount of collagen in your skin decreases causing skin laxity and loss of volume making the skin thinner which causes it to sag. Dermal Fillers effectively reduce wrinkles and folds by adding volume to sagging skin, smoothing wrinkles and creases to make you look younger.
When injected into the skin, Hyaluronic Acid fillers work by attracting water molecules to the treatment area. This helps to hydrate the skin from within, which can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give the skin a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Hyaluronic Acid fillers are also able to help the skin retain moisture by creating a gel-like network in the treatment area. This network helps to lock in moisture and prevent it from evaporating from the skin, which can help to further improve skin hydration.
In addition to its hydrating properties, Hyaluronic Acid is also biocompatible and biodegradable, which makes it a safe and effective filler material for a variety of skin types. Overall, Hyaluronic Acid fillers are a popular choice for those looking to improve the appearance of their skin, particularly in areas where there is a loss of volume or hydration.
Dermal fillers are used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and improve the overall appearance of the skin. The length of time that dermal fillers last depends on the type of filler used, the location of the injection, and the individual’s metabolism.
When dermal fillers wear off, the treated area will gradually return to its pre-treatment state. This means that wrinkles, folds, and areas of lost volume will gradually become more noticeable. The speed at which this occurs will vary depending on the specific filler used, but generally, most fillers last between 6 and 18 months.
As the filler wears off, you may notice a gradual return of the original signs of aging. To maintain your results, you may choose to have additional treatments as recommended by your healthcare provider. Alternatively, you may decide not to have any further treatments and allow the filler to naturally dissipate over time.
Dermal Filler is made from hyaluronic acid gel base, that balance soft volume enhancement and deep structural support, to give you natural-looking results, specifically tailored to you, in areas such as the chin, jawline and cheeks/cheekbones. Hyaluronic is found naturally in the body and is used as a filling agent typically in the areas around your eyes, mouth and nose.
Yes, some dermal fillers can stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers may also have a mild stimulatory effect on collagen production, although the main way they work is by adding volume to the skin.
