Dermal Fillers
One of the most important features of an aging face is the loss of volume. This loss of volume in the face leads to a sunken look and gives rise to multiple creases and fine wrinkles all over the face and body. Face being the most visible area gathers the maximum attention followed by the back of the hands. Now a number of safer materials are available which can be injected safely in various plains. However barring fat, all the materials used are temporary and are metabolized over a period of 6-12 months, thereby necessitating a repeat sitting of the injectable filler treatment. It is to be noted that though the cosmetic filler injections make one look younger by restoring the lost volume, they do not stop aging, they delay the need for more permanent and invasive procedures like facelift and browlift.
The most commonly used dermal filler is a hyaluronic acid based filler. It is an excellent method to take care of fine wrinkles and creases for people who want a non-surgical option.
