As the skin ages, it gradually loses some of its collagen and fat. These are the
materials that prevent the skin from becoming saggy. Thus, as we age, our skin
can become thinner and more wrinkled and lined.
Dermal fillers help to restore our skin to its former youthful appearance. Material is
injected into the skin in areas where t needs to be plumped up again and made to look firmer.
Fillers come in different thicknesses, and in general, the thicker the product, the
deeper it is injected into the dermis to help plump out fine to deep lines and
wrinkles.
Dermal fillers tend to be broadly classified as being either non-permanent or
permanent in their effect by both manufacturers and practitioners using these
products.
