When we are young, our skin is smooth and elastic with a healthy glow. As we age, our ability to maintain that smoothness and elasticity diminishes, causing our skin to become drier, thinner and less able to replenish itself. Our body’s natural matrix of supportive structures, mainly collagen and hyaluronic acid, decrease and our skin becomes more lax leading to wrinkles and creases which make us appear older than we are.
Synthetic dermal fillers are injected under the skin to contour and smooth wrinkles, lines or hollow areas of the face. The most common areas for treatment with dermal fillers are the nasolabial folds (from the edge of the nostrils to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth down to the chin). They are also used to plump outĀ or augment the lips and lines around the mouth for a fuller more youthful appearance.
