The primary ingredient in facial fillers is hyaluronic acid. When injected, it provides immediate effects, increasing the skin’s water retention in the desired spots. But the even more beneficial effect is the potential to stimulate the body’s production of collagen over long periods of time.
Collagen gives your skin strength, elasticity, and structure, and its reduction can have unwanted effects as we age. When dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, it is obviously desirable. While most patients see a plastic surgeon for cosmetic benefits, many procedures, including injectable fillers, have genuine medical benefits.
Deservedly so because of their benefits, nonsurgical facelifts receive a lot of attention. The basis for most of the improvements they achieve is injectable fillers. If your face has lost volume because of aging, instantly restoring it with injectables can improve your appearance.
