As we get older, many natural changes occur in our bodies which can lead to unwanted aging symptoms, especially in our faces. Our faces are particularly vulnerable due to the delicacy of facial skin. Decreases in the production of compounds crucial to the skin — such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid — can leave our faces looking hollow and our skin looking tired, saggy and wrinkled. Collagen and elastin are responsible for the underlying structure of our skin, giving the skin its tautness and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid also contributes to these structures and, since it naturally attracts water, HA helps our skin look and feel hydrated, keeping it supple, while also helping to retain volume. Fortunately, while the decline in these naturally occurring compounds cannot be stopped, the symptoms they produce can be minimized and improved. Dermal fillers give those with early aging symptoms a natural, safe and effective way to treat these symptoms while avoiding costlier and riskier invasive procedures. Dermal fillers, using compounds naturally occurring in the body as well as body-safe compounds, can restore lost volume while also reintroducing hyaluronic acids, which help the body naturally restore volume over time. Dermal fillers also pose minimal risk. What is a dermal filler? Dermal fillers are compounds made from biocompatible elements and frequently include hyaluronic acid — a compound naturally found in the body — or a derivative. During your treatment, your medical provider will inject carefully-predetermined amounts of the dermal filler into areas where volume loss and skin laxity are present. The filler will restore lost volume and reintroduce additional hyaluronic acid. If hyaluronic acid is introduced through the filler, the acid will immediately begin to attract water, further volumizing the skin. Hyaluronic acid will also boost your body’s collagen and elastin production, spurring continued improvements. Since fillers use biocompatible or naturally-occurring components, they are extremely safe as well as effective. Dermal Filler Questions What are the benefits of filler treatments?
