What are dermal fillers made of?
Dermal fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. Dermal filler also contains lidocaine which is an anaesthetic to make it comfortable when being injected into the skin.
Dermal filler (hyaluronic acid) is responsible for attracting and holding water within the
skin. This allows the skin to become full and rejuvenated.
Over time our body metabolises hyaluronic acid causing the skin to look aged. This is due to the loss of firmness and lifting within the face. Sunken and sagging skin are the key features of ageing which cause the loss in volume.
Dermal filler (hyaluronic acid) is the most common procedure to correct this problem with typically little downtime and a fraction of the cost compared with either a fat transfer into the face or a facelift.
