Sona Buzzword: Dermal Filler

 

Dermal fillers work to restore volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds

Dermal fillers work to restore volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. 

Your skin is made of two layers, with supporting columns holding them apart. The area in-between includes the clear-jelly like substance Hyaluronic Acid. While young, the Hyaluronic acid is in abundance. As you grow older, the acid between these layers diminishes, and the skin somewhat caves, causing a wrinkle along the line. The wrinkle would be gone if you filled that area back up with the Hyaluronic Acid jelly-like substance. That's where Dermal fillers help.

The fillers are injected into the skin with a very thin needle. It is injected into the area, and restores the natural volumes underneath the wrinkle. The wrinkle is now lifted up and smoothed out. All of this takes about 30 minutes, leaves no marks or scars, and the results can be seen immediately.

Dermal Filler’s at Sona MedSpa include Perlane^®, Restylane^®, Radiesse^®, and Juvederm^TM. Time between injections is typically 6 to 12 months.
