Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are soft gel like substances injected beneath the skin to restore volume, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plump the lips and contour and revive the skin. With dermal fillers, you can enjoy a refreshed more youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
What are dermal fillers made of and how do they work?
Dermal fillers are categorized by the substance they are made from. The most common type of fillers are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers.
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that naturally exists in your body and skin. It works to keep skin plump and hydrated by binding to water and regulating the water balance in skin. Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin’s supply of HA, instantly reviving and adding volume to the skin.
The results are seen instantly, and can last for up to a year and a half before the body gradually reabsorbs the particles.
Which type of dermal filler do I need?
Each product is uniquely formulated to have a certain texture, density, and injection depth, which means that certain fillers work better for certain areas of concern. Revive will help you determine what product is best for you!
