With age our bodies naturally change, some of these differences may be seen in the form of wrinkles on our faces or descending cheekbone area. Dermal fillers can help correct these changes by adding volume to certain areas that you are starting to be unhappy with.
Dermal filler treatments are non-invasive and performed by our specialized physician in order to correct certain signs of aging or for a facial rejuvenated look. For over a decade Dermamode has offered injectables treatments, dermal fillers, to help minimize unwanted signs of aging. Over time we have been witness to exceptional results.
The elasticity and suppleness often seen in younger skin is generated by a naturally occurring chemical known as hyaluronic acid. The aging process diminishes the release of this chemical which consequently results in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and loss of volume in the facial region. Dermal fillers are introduced just below the surface of the skin in order to restore its hyaluronic acid. Wrinkles and fine lines are immediately reduced and virtually disappear. They are most commonly used to increase volume, contouring (e.g. lip enhancement) as well as to treat hollowness and deep-set eyes. It can also be used to treat deep set wrinkles.
There are other injectables that that work by stimulating your body’s natural collagen, filling in wrinkles long term and helping your skin develop new collagen in the process. These types of treatments of injectables are intended for wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose, and areas of fat loss in the face. It’s also for the backs of hands where volume has been lost.
What are dermal fillers made of?
There are many types of dermal fillers available today. Most are based on a substance known as hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar molecule found in most living organisms to fill and plump the areas that have lost volume while others use calcium hydroxide gel (CaHA) microspheres to stimulate collagen.
