Hyaluronic Acid as a Facial Filler
Facial fillers are among the top five nonsurgical cosmetic procedures that people undergo. There are many varieties of facial fillers that are comprised of different substances. One of these is called hyaluronic acid (HA). HA facial fillers are highly effective facial enhancement treatments that can minimize fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and other signs of facial aging.
What Is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and is found in the eyes, joints, and skin. In the skin, hyaluronic acid provides lubrication and acts as a cushion. Skin that is rich in hyaluronic acid is well-hydrated, plump, firm, and supple. Unfortunately, the body’s production of hyaluronic acid diminishes over time, particularly after age 40. Consequently, a reduction in the natural presence of hyaluronic acid results in a loss of skin firmness, hydration, plumpness, and softness.
Why Is Hyaluronic Acid Used in Facial Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is used in facial fillers to reverse the signs of aging. As stated above, lower levels of hyaluronic acid lead to lower quality skin, which then leads to wrinkles, fine lines, creases, and volume loss. Dr. Doezie uses dermal fillers that are comprised of hyaluronic acid because this substance can fill in the areas affected by aging. HA fillers help to rebuild the connective tissue matrix of the dermis so that it is stronger. Hyaluronic acid retains water and keeps the skin hydrated and full so that the patient looks more youthful and vibrant.
What Fillers Contain Hyaluronic Acid?
Some of the most popular HA facial fillers are JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Perlane®. As hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance, the skin tends to respond well to HA fillers. HA fillers can enhance thinning lips, add volume to correct creases and folds, and fill in wrinkles and fine lines to restore a more youthful appearance. Each of these HA fillers can enhance the face and reverse the signs of facial aging. When administered by the expert hands of Dr. Doezie, HA fillers can help your face and your skin look more rejuvenated, healthy, and young. Regular treatments about every six months can help you maintain the most attractive and youthful results with HA fillers.
