HOW DERMAL FILLERS WORK?

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance produced by our body, particularly in connective tissues which retains our skin, plumped and hydrated. Natural production of hyaluronic acid diminishes due to aging, causing our skin losing its elasticity and hydration. Hyaluronic acid has the ability to preserve moisture 1000 times its weight which is why most fillers, such as Restylane and Juvéderm, use hyaluronic acid in order to maintain skin hydration while creating a more plumped, tone, and natural look. Studies prove that hyaluronic acid assist with collagen production, improves skin elasticity and has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial assets which help with wound healing.

Dermal fillers give skin more volume by reducing wrinkles and fine lines which gives you a younger, more plumped and even textured skin without you undertaking any invasive cosmetic treatments.
