Dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic injection designed to add volume and fullness to areas of the face that have lost natural volume due to aging, skin damage, or other reasons.

The main ingredients in dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body that helps maintain skin elasticity, and collagen, another protein that gives skin its elasticity and youthful appearance.

Treatment

Dermal fillers can be used to treat a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, thinning lips, sunken cheeks or temples, and deep nasolabial folds (or "smile lines").

The results of dermal filler treatment are typically immediate and the effects of the filler can last anywhere from several months to several years, depending on the product used and the individual patient's metabolism and skin type.

A skilled cosmetic dermatologist such as Dr. Lenzy can ensure the injections are precisely targeted to achieve the desired result of a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
