What Is Dermal Filler?
As we age, our skin loses some of its elasticity. Our skin needs a protein called collagen in order to be flexible and smooth. The more we age, the slower the rate at which our bodies produce collagen. With the production of collagen in our bodies slowing down, our skin starts to lose its suppleness, smoothness, and elasticity, leading to sagging.
The face also loses volume over time as a result of the loss of tissue from the underlying facial fat layer. This causes it to appear gaunt. Another unfortunate side effect of aging is the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
While we can’t completely avoid or hide from these effects of age, we can delay the process using cosmetic treatments like dermal fillers. There are many different types of dermal fillers that are available on the market right now, including Juvederm and Radiesse.
