Dermal Fillers
What is Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers, are injected below the surface of the skin. These fillers use hyaluronic acid (found in fluid and tissues of the body) and other substances to give an effect of fullness and make the skin look plumper and hydrated, while also adding more volume to the parts of the facial skin, such as the cheeks, chin, lips, and the smile lines that seem to be withering. Each of the contents of the dermal filler injections are designed to treat different symptoms ranging from the signs of aging to other cosmetic troubles.
The Procedure

- Evaluation of your facial appearance and skin tone.
- Examination of the areas of your face to be augmented.
- Strategic points on your face may be marked as the appropriate injection sites for the filler.
- Photographs may be taken of the areas to be treated.
- The injection sites will be cleansed with an antibacterial agent.
- Pain at the injection site may be ameliorated by use of a very cold instrument to chill the skin, anesthetic ointment to numb the skin or injection of local anesthesia.
- Injection usually takes only a few moments per site. The process of injecting, massaging, and evaluating the result is performed, and additional filler added as needed.
- Once the results are deemed satisfactory, any markings will be cleansed off.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid, also known as Hyaluronan or Hyaluronate, is a hydrophilic (waterloving) carbohydrate found naturally throughout the human body. As Hyaluronic Acid seeks out and binds to water, it becomes a viscous, Jell-O like substance that serves as the body’s natural lubricant and provider of cushioning and elasticity. Wrinkles are often found to be a result of the loss of collagen and loss of elasticity in the skin and is a sign of ageing skin. Hyaluronic acid restores the lost skin volume, adding to the natural plumper look of the skin by replenishing the body’s natural production of the acid which is essential in diminishing signs of ageing.
