Dermal fillers are substance/gels injected beneath the skin’s surface to smooth wrinkles and add volume and contour.

It works by drawing in water and therefore augmenting the skin, thus reducing the wrinkle treated. It is by no means permanent and is totally biodegradable. Depending on what type of dermal fillers, results can last between one to two years. Fillers are very safe and have been used for over a decade. The most popular brand of dermal filler has sold over 20 million syringes.
