Dermal Fillers
dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are used to correct the advanced sign of ageing which is caused by loss of collagen in the skin with drooping of the skin fat under the influence of gravity. It works by providing support, hydration, and volume to the area treated. Dermal fillers are synthetic derivatives of a molecule called Hyaluronic acid which is universally found in the skin and tissues of animals and humans and provides structural support to the tissues besides performing many other important functions. 1g of Hyaluronic acid (HA) can absorb up to 20 liters of water, thus, has immense potential to hydrate the skin and add volume to it.
