FILLERS

WHAT ARE FILLERS?

Fillers are an injectable treatment that is performed to help smooth lines and replenish volume. They are able to restore a more youthful appearance to the skin.

As a result, this type of treatment addresses common skincare concerns.

Overall these concerns include under-eye circles, lifting cheekbones, increasing the volume in the lips, smoothing the lip lines and nasolabial folds, and rejuvenating the hands.

WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF?

Dermal fillers are composed of a variety of substances. One of the most common compounds used in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA).

HA is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin. This substance plays a major role in keeping the skin hydrated and youthful.

This injectable has the ability to last from six months to much longer before gradually disappearing. It begins to disappear as it is absorbed by the body.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Our skin is held tight with 3 critical components: Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, and Elastin.

In essence, these chemicals combine to create a structure under the skin surface that works to keep the surface tissue smooth and firm.

When we age, this meshwork begins to lose its strength and we start to lose that baby smooth skin that comes with youth.

Fillers help to strengthen this meshwork to plump up the tissue under the skin and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin by becoming firmer, smoother, and youthful.
