Dermal Fillers
Restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance your natural features with personalized dermal filler treatments.
Dermal fillers are made primarily from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume. As we age, collagen and hyaluronic acid decline, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and facial volume loss.
Dermal fillers can help:
- Smooth smile lines and wrinkles
- Restore volume to the cheeks and temples
- Enhance and define the lips
- Improve facial contours
- Create a naturally refreshed appearance
At Dr. Nyree’s office, every treatment is customized to enhance your unique features while maintaining natural-looking results. Most fillers last 6–18 months, depending on the product used and the treatment area.
Mechanism of
Action
Fillers work well for cosmetic and plastic surgery applications because hyaluronic acid can absorb up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, thereby adding new volume under the surface of sagging skin. Older faces take on more youthful aspects because hyaluronic acid is known to bind with collagen — the material that supports human facial skin — and elastin to move more basic nutrients into the skin.
Dermal for acne scars and non-surgical nose lift are well practiced in the USA.
Research into fillers has found that hyaluronic acid stretches cells in skin known as fibroblasts in a way that causes the skin to create new collagen. The new collagen helps decrease the appearance of facial creases and wrinkles. An unexpected — and welcome — finding cropped up: hyaluronic acid also seems to stop the breakdown of existing collagen.
