Administered via injection with a thin needle, dermal fillers are placed under the surface of the skin to increase volume, restore contours and definition. The area of injection depends on the type of filler. Some are administered deep beneath the layers of tissue, while others are placed closer to the surface.
All of our dermal filler products used at Facial Aesthetics are hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. Fillers made from HA mimic the HA found naturally in your skin, connective tissue and cartilage. Part of what makes this material so effective is that it binds with water molecules, thereby providing hydrated, plump, smooth skin. It also replaces volume beneath the skin, which decreases as your skin ages. Age is associated with less subcutaneous fat, which makes it easier to see the creases of the deflated skin. Dermal fillers soften these lines on your face by plumping up the subcutaneous volume.
