What can dermal fillers do for aging skin?
Injectable dermal fillers replace lost volume with hyaluronic acid, a compound you naturally produce a lot of in your youth, to boost your skin’s plumpness, suppleness, and strength.
As you age, you lose volume because the thin layer of fat beneath the surface of your skin starts to disappear.
Your facial muscles sit closer to the skin’s surface, so lines and wrinkles become more obvious. Dermal fillers can plump and fill in the skin, so you achieve a less gaunt appearance with fewer creases and lines.
Simply put: Dermal fillers are an alternative to invasive surgery when your goal is to look more youthful. Dermal fillers restore HA levels to give you a youthful boost.
What skin concerns do dermal fillers correct?
Dermal fillers are effective in treating lines and wrinkles and lost volume on the face. Dr. Cui may recommend them to reduce the appearance of:
- Nasolabial folds
