How do dermal fillers work?

Dermal fillers are a range of products that are injected directly into the skin. There are quite a few different brands and products, and they work in slightly different ways, but the underlying effect of them all is to minimize the signs of ageing by reducing wrinkles and or adding volume. They are usually used for the face but can be used for other areas, including the backs of the hands and to increase volume in areas such as the lips.

Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers:

Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the skin. It holds more than 1000 times its weight in water and provides the skin with hydration, giving it that dewy appearance – babies have loads of it, which is why their skin looks so peach. As we get older, production of it is less and dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Perlane and Restylane contain HA as an active ingredient.

Collagen Dermal Fillers:

Collagen is something else that our bodies produce less of as we get older. It forms a matrix underneath the skin, but as this breaks down, so the skin above it starts to get fine lines, wrinkles and eventually sags. Brands such as Radiesse, Sculptra and Bellafill claim to restore collagen.

Why have Dermal Fillers in South Korea?
