Dermal filler is the non-invasive treatment for facial rejuvenation and are used to as anti-ageing agents. As people age, facial skin begins to lose its flexibility and natural hydration that helps support, shape and add volume to the face. This leads to wrinkles on the face, deep lines and sagging of the skin. Dermal fillers are injectable gels composed from either natural or synthetically derived materials like hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers gently lift and pump up the skin to restore the lost collagen owing to aging process. Dermal fillers also enable the body to generate its own collagen which can help in giving a natural and youthful facial appearance. Dermal filler treatment is highly effective as its results last from seven to 26 months, depending upon the type of dermal filler used. Dermal filler treatment takes 25-50 minutes with or without local anesthesia which can vary according to the patient skin and physical condition.
