What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that work to replace or enhance facial volume. Lost facial volume is among the primary causes of visible aging.

When you’re young, your face is padded with a thick layer of collagen, which creates the soft, rounded contouring known as a “baby face.” As the years pass, much of that collagen is lost, leaving your skin to sag and pool into lines, wrinkles, and folds.

Dermal fillers work by adding soft, natural-looking volume in the areas of your face where it is most needed. Many fillers are made of a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid, a substance your body produces naturally.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers are administered via a series of injections. The initial step is an evaluation of your skin and facial contouring. This gives your practitioner a clear understanding of where fillers would be most effective and which type of filler to use.

Mind Body Infusion Med Spa offers multiple dermal fillers, each of which is formulated for specific uses. The practice stocks the entire family of Juvéderm® fillers. Restylane® is a great option for softening the backs of your hands, an area that is among the first to show signs of aging. Radiesse® is another option, and it can even smooth deep lines and folds.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

Because there are so many brands and formulations of dermal fillers, results can vary from one product to the next. Some options will deliver results that last around six months, while others can last as long as 18 months.

One of the best reasons to consider dermal fillers is their ability to stimulate your natural collagen production. This can create results that last even longer than the filler itself. Few things will prompt your body to create substantial collagen, which is part of what makes dermal fillers such an attractive treatment option.
