Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable substances, such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, designed to fill in wrinkles, plump lips, and replace volume in the cheeks and under-eye hollows. Because dermal fillers are minimally invasive, they are popular treatments for reversing the effects of aging. Some brand name dermal fillers you may recognize: Restylane, Juvederm, and Evolence.
