In this article we are going to discuss what dermal filler is and how it can transform your look into a more younger one like it was a few years behind.

What Are Fillers for the Skin? 

Dermal Fillers are Gel-like materials that when injected into the skin, improve facial appearance, smooth out wrinkles and restore lost volume. They contain Hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring component in the body that helps in the maintenance of the hydration and elasticity of the skin.

Minimize wrinkles

As we grow, Collagen and elastin levels in our skin begin to decline. Fine lines and wrinkles start appearing due to this. These wrinkles can be filled with dermal fillers. Once filled, these dermal fillers reduce wrinkles and fine lines within a week or even you can start seeing the result within a day or two.

Procedure

The Physician or the Specialist inject the dermal fillers into the face where fine lines start appearing. To make sure, you do not feel any pain while giving injection, doctors may give you anesthesia or apply anesthesia cream first. Once filler is injected, it is advised to wait for 10-15 minutes or upto an hour depending on the amount of filler injected. After that you can continue your daily work. You will start seeing results within a few hours and will see full results in a week.
