What Is Dermal Filler?

Dermal filler injection is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to enhance facial features and reduce the signs of aging. This treatment involves injecting a gel-like substance beneath the skin’s surface to fill in wrinkles, add volume, and restore a youthful appearance.  

Types of Dermal Filler

  1. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin that helps maintain moisture and volume. HA fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are popular choices for adding volume to lips, cheeks, and smoothing out lines and wrinkles. They are known for their natural look and feel. 
  2. Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers: CaHA fillers, like Radiesse, stimulate collagen production and are often used to fill deeper wrinkles and folds. They can also add volume to the cheeks and hands. 
  3. Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA) Fillers: PLLA, found in Sculptra, is used to stimulate collagen production gradually. It’s effective for treating deep wrinkles and restoring lost volume over time. 
  4. Polymethyl-Methacrylate (PMMA) Fillers: PMMA fillers, such as Bellafill, contain tiny microspheres that remain in the skin to create a scaffold for collagen production. They are used for deep wrinkles and acne scar correction. 
  5. Polycaprolactone (PCL) Fillers: PCL fillers, like Ellanse, stimulate collagen production and provide long-lasting results. They can be used for facial rejuvenation and skin tightening.
