Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers, sometimes called cosmetic fillers, are dermatological treatments for aging skin.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are used by dermatologists to help patients achieve a more youthful appearance. As skin ages, it begins to show signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging.
Hyaluronic acid fillers plump up the skin, so wrinkles disappear, and sagging diminishes or becomes less noticeable. These injections do not lead to permanent results but repeat treatments are safe. This way, anyone can achieve the more youthful appearance that they desire.
Camelback Dermatology & Skin Surgery offers several hyaluronic acid fillers treatments, including Juvéderm® and Restylane®.
What are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Used For?
The primary purpose of hyaluronic acid fillers is to enhance the appearance of older skin. For this reason, hyaluronic acid fillers are most often done on the face; however, they can also be done on other areas of the body, including the hands.
Most often, though, hyaluronic acid fillers are used to:
- Soften facial creases and fine lines
- Plump up thinning skin
- Improve the appearance of facial scars
- Plump lips
- Enhance facial contours and give more support and structure to the face
