Dermal filler is a procedure to
treat skin wrinkles and loss of volume. In order to create a more youthful and
energetic effect, the gaps in the skin are filled and the facial features are
reshaped. In this context, natural or synthetic substances are injected. Lines
or deformations on the skin may be genetic, may develop due to age, or may have
developed after physical trauma. Dermal filled application offers a solution
for many people.

Time, sun exposure, smoking, stress
… These factors causing skin aging reveal themselves the most on our face.
Wrinkles, lines and sagging arise mainly due to diminishing of fat and
connective tissue in deeper layers of your skin and less often due to loss of
bone density. These tissues should be supported externally. Wrinkles and facial
lines should be smoothened and depressed parts of the skin should be raised.
This way you will have a more fresh, youthful and smooth face reversing the
signs of ageing.

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most
used dermal fillers and it is a natural sucrose derivative. This is naturally
produced in human body and is responsible for tightness of the skin and has the
capacity to absorb water, more than its own volume. Since it is an
anti-allergic substance and maintains its form for a long time, it is one of
the most preferred dermal filler.

Application is very practical.
Dermal filler is injected under wrinkled skin. This procedure last around 15-20
minutes, without any significant pain and anesthetic creams may be applied
before the procedure. Since this does not interfere with social and work life
of the person, the procedure can be carried out even at lunch breaks. Results
are extremely satisfying and visible and the procedure may be continued
according to expectations of the individual. If you consider having rhinoplasty

Dermal Filling Procedure Overview

The effect of years, sun, smoking
and stress… These factors that cause skin aging show their effects mostly on
the face. Wrinkles, lines and sagging are mainly caused by the reduction of
subcutaneous fat and connective tissue, and to a lesser extent by loss of
density in the bone tissue.

These diminished tissues should be
supported externally. The collapsed parts of the skin should be raised, lines
and wrinkles should be removed.

Thus, a smoother, fresher and
younger skin is obtained, while the effects of aging are reduced. Hyaluronic
acid is one of the most commonly used fillers and is a natural sugar
derivative.

This substance, which is naturally
present in the human body, is responsible for the tension of the skin and has
the capacity to absorb much more water than its volume. It is one of the most
preferred fillers because it is anti-allergic and keeps its shape for a long
time.

practical. With the help of injection, fillers are given under the wrinkled
skin. At the end of this procedure, which lasts for 15-20 minutes, no
significant pain occurs and anesthetic creams can be used beforehand. It can be
applied even during lunch breaks as it does not affect the social and working
life of the person. The results are extremely pleasing and can be seen
immediately and can be continued according to one’s expectations.
