Introduction: What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are non-surgical, injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Made from biocompatible materials like hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid, these fillers provide natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
At Skin Aesthetics & Medspa, with locations in York, PA, and Timonium, MD, our expert practitioners customize dermal filler treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals safely and effectively.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers work by replenishing lost volume in the skin, stimulating collagen production, and smoothing out wrinkles and folds. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years or more.
Common Ingredients in Dermal Fillers:
✔ Hyaluronic Acid (HA) – A naturally occurring substance that attracts moisture, plumping the skin (e.g., Juvederm®, Restylane®).
✔ Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) – Stimulates collagen for long-lasting volume (e.g., Radiesse®).
✔ Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA) – A biostimulator that gradually improves skin texture (e.g., Sculptra®).
