Hyaluronic acid, or HA, is a natural substance in the body that delivers volume to the skin. Production of HA decreases as a natural part of the aging process and due to exposure to the sun, smoke, or other pollutants.
As you age, the cheeks may flatten and the skin may begin to sag. This is caused by natural loss of volume in the cheek area, or what the experts call age-related midface volume loss. Filler is designed to add volume beneath the skin's surface, which provides lift and contour to the cheek area.
Filler injectable gel is designed for deep injection for augmentation of the chin region to improve the chin profile. Adding volume to the chin area creates shape and definition for adults over 21 years of age.
Filler is injected into the areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur, including the "parentheses lines" around the nose and mouth. It is designed to temporarily correct facial wrinkles for a smoother appearance to the face for adults over the age of 21.
Lip filler is for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral lines, often called "lipstick lines". It is a crystal-clear gel that is injected directly into and around the lips using an ultra-fine needle to temporarily plump the lips for lip augmentation and to smooth the appearance of lines around the mouth.
