As we age, our skin begins to lose its tight and plump appearance. With a decrease in fat and connective tissue, there is a loss of volume in our face, leading to the formation of wrinkles, sagging, and folds in the skin.
Dermal fillers can help reduce these signs of aging by replacing the lost volume in the skin and soft tissues. Hyaluronic acid is the most commonly used filler in these procedures, as it is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and does not typically cause allergic reactions.
After selecting the appropriate filler type for the target area, local anesthetic creams are applied to ensure a pain-free procedure. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the treatment area but typically takes around 15-20 minutes. Results are visible immediately after the procedure, and the duration of the fillers depends on the chosen filler type and the treated area, lasting between 6-24 months.
