Everything you ever wanted to know about Dermal Fillers - What They Are, Types, Benefits & Results

As we age, our skin starts showing signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, smile lines, sagging skin, and dull skin. Aging is inevitable, but we can reduce the signs of aging. As a minimally invasive, versatile, and relatively low-risk procedure, dermal fillers may be your answer to achieving that youthful glow.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are one of the most popular anti-aging procedures. They are injectable implants approved by the FDA to help smooth skin and wrinkles. They help make those facial lines disappear and help restore volume and fullness to your face.

Dermal fillers can smoothen your skin, give you a more youthful appearance and fine-tune the shape of minor facial features like the tip of your nose.

These injections plump up wrinkles and smooth out lines and furrows on your face. Dermal fillers can also be used in the upper neck area to minimize excess skin, which can cause a visible doughnut-like indentation below the chin. It makes your face look younger and more beautiful.

These injections are safe for most people when administered by experienced practitioners.
