Dermal fillers such as Juvederm^®, Restylene^® and Teosyal^® to name a few, can replace lost volume to the face to help smooth wrinkles. They can also be used to enhance the lips, cheeks, and chin, as well as create a more youthful, fresh appearance to the face.

Lip filler, cheek filler, and chin filler are extremely popular procedures and have been a game changer in the aesthetic industry. Filler is also being used to help reshape the jaw line to give the face more angles while minimizing jowls, as well as reshape the nose producing the effect of a liquid facelift and liquid rhinoplasty, respectively. With proper placement and a trained eye, filler can make a subtle difference in a big way. Typically neuromodulators like Botox^® are used in the upper face, and fillers like Juvederm^® are used in the lower face, and they can be used together in the same treatment session.

There are several types of dermal fillers with the most popular being hyaluronic acid based fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced by the body. The role of hyaluronic acid is to increase moisture, retain collagen, and provide elasticity and flexibility to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is basically a large sugar molecule that stays in the skin and serves to attract and bind water molecules, thus keeping the skin hydrated as well as giving it volume.

The duration of fillers varies based on the product and can range anywhere from several months to over a year. Because HA fillers are natural substances, they can be dissolved with the use of the enzyme Hyaluronidase.
