Placed in key areas, dermal fillers are injectable gels that are used to restore lost facial volume or enhance facial structures, giving a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. Replicating the sugar molecule in our skin that naturally declines as we age, dermal fillers also attract moisture to the affected areas and may assist in restoring firmness to your skin.
