Dermal fillers are cosmetic agents that surgeons use to soften deep folds and effectively reduce wrinkling in the face. They are injectable fillers that are primarily made out of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that is naturally found in the muscles, tendons, and skins of mammals. A widely used treatment for removing facial wrinkles, the demand for dermal fillers is high, especially among older women who want to restore their youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are primarily used to remove smile lines, also known as nasolabial folds, or the skin crease running from the corners of the nose down to the corners of the mouth.
In addition to removing smile lines, dermal fillers are also highly effective lip augmentation agents, which add fullness to otherwise thin lips. They are also used to fill in scars on the face as well as other hollow places that require a little raising. While dermal fillers are highly effective wrinkle-removers, they only provide a temporary solution to the issue, as hyaluronic acid products eventually get absorbed by the body. These dermal fillers usually last somewhere between 6 to 9 months, requiring patients to undergo repeat treatment in order to maintain their younger look.
Dermal fillers are ideal for use in plastic surgery and other cosmetic procedure applications because the substance can absorb as much as 1,000 times its own weight in water. This allows it to add volume under the skin surface. Hyaluronic acid is also known to bind with collagen and elastin, therefore helping support the facial skin and attracting basic nutrients back into the aging skin. New research into dermal fillers also reveals that the acid stretches skin cells known as fibroblasts in a manner that causes it to create new collagen. Other researches also suggest that hyaluronic acid appears to stop the destruction and breakdown of existing collagen.
