Dermal Fillers are being used more and more to help reverse the
changes associated with aging. Because the goal is to return the
dermis to its original youthful state, dermal fillers can give
a more natural appearance than surgical face lifts. Dermal fillers
are being used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, raise scar depressions,
enhance lips, and replace soft-tissue volume loss. They include:
collagen based fillers such as Zyplast and Cosmoderm, hyaluronic
acid based fillers such as Restylane and Hylaform, and calcium
hydroxyl apatite fillers such as Radiesse.
Collagen is intended to smooth out, fill in and decrease wrinkles.
Collagen will plump lips and define the edges of your lips. Collagen
is also intended to fill in and reduce the depth of the nasolabial
fold. It can also help to fill depressed, acne scars. Collagen
is a naturally occurring protein that provides support for various
parts of the body including skin, tendons and ligaments.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in skin and works
to trap water and maintain the intercellular space within the
dermis. The effects of dermal fillers can last from 3 months to
five years depending on the filler used, collagen lasts for the
least amount of time whereas Restylane can provide results that
last for upto 6 months. Book your abdominoplasty
