There are many dermal fillers on the market that are FDA approved for volume loss, as well as exciting off-label indications. The most popular and widely used dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid based fillers or HA fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that is responsible for keeping our skin and joints soft, supple, and lubricated.

What Exactly Are Dermal Fillers?

They are hydrophilic in nature, meaning they love the water in our tissues and hence have a soft and natural appearance when properly injected. Popular HA fillers are known as, Juvederm, Restylane, and Revanesse. There are also other dermal fillers with a molecular structure that differs from HA fillers known as Radiesse and Bellafill. These fillers are made up of calcium and PMMA. These fillers offer longer term effects, but lack the softer appearance.

We implement dermal fillers for a wide variety of utility throughout the face and body and depending on the filler of choice, may last 8-18 months.
