How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers are popular because they offer visible improvement with minimal downtime. Here’s what happens beneath the surface when filler is placed.

Replacing lost volume

With age, the face loses fat, collagen, and bone support. Fillers replace some of that volume, lifting areas that have flattened and softening folds.

Attracting moisture

Hyaluronic acid fillers bind water, which adds hydration and a natural plumpness to the treated area.

Stimulating collagen

Some fillers, such as Radiesse®, also encourage your skin to produce new collagen, improving firmness over time.
