Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are delivered in the form of an injection, usually inserted into or just below the skin. They work by adding volume to the skin and increasing skin’s hydration– in this way they can fill out wrinkles and smooth the overlying skin easily. Some fillers are intended to add volume to the cheekbone or the chin and are often used for lip enhancement. HA dermal fillers are based on Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our skin. Under the skin, hyaluronic acid retains water molecules and aids the binding of collagen and elastin fibers. The wrinkles fade while skin remains firm and hydrated. There are many products on the market. At Gold Angels Aesthetics we use only the most well-known, FDA approved dermal fillers. Fillers are injected directly into the area to be treated, often after application of a topical anesthetic cream.

The effect is immediate, and lasts between 2-18 months, depending on the type of product and the treated area.

Facial fillers are very commonly paired with muscle- relaxing injections. This is particularly effective for rejuvenating the face, especially in young and middle-age patients.
