Dermal Fillers

Dermal or soft tissue fillers are injectable synthetic or natural compounds that can smooth out age-related wrinkles, add volume to sunken skin areas and conceal depressed scars. They can also augment and define facial contours as well as other body areas. Most fillers work by mechanically adding volume to the injection areas, while some can also stimulate the skin to produce natural collagen, adding to the filling effect. There are many different types of dermal fillers that differ in their uses, effectiveness and safety.
