What are dermal fillers? Benefits And effects

Dermal fillers are small injections of a gel composed of hyaluronic acid, which fills in wrinkles and adds volume to soft tissue.

Where are dermal fillers applied?

You may have them in different parts of your face: around the eye, cheeks, mouth, and jawline, as well as lip fillers administered directly into the lip tissue.

How do they work?

They restore lost volume to the face and filled areas, so deep lines are smoothed.

Why is it necessary?

Our bodies stop producing collagen and elastin due to aging, so dermal fillers help you regain that youthful appearance.  

According to the experts, when we are 25 years old we start to lose collagen, they decrease around 2% per year.
