Whats is Dermal Filler ?
Filler is made up of hyaluronic acid, a water loving molecule. Youthful skin is continuously moisturised from within by the hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar. Hyaluronic acid absorbs moisture and keeps your skin well hydrated and youthful looking. As we age, our skin loses hyaluronic acid and fine lines start to appear on the surface which eventually leads to wrinkles.
Some wrinkles are also caused by other factors such as muscle movement, sun exposure and diet. Dermal fillers help replace the volume lost or wrinkles which have occurred by assisting in plumping the skin to restore youth.
