Why do people get Dermal Filler?

The 4 layers of the face - bone, muscle, fat and skin- all play an important role in the ageing process. Environmental, genetic and internal factors can all impact the process but it is somewhat similar for everyone. Dermal Fillers can target 3 of the layers, bone, fat and skin.

A youthful appearance is caused by fat pads that are joined and fill, skin remains firm and tight over the lower face. In contrast an aged appearance is characterised by fat pads which become depleted and shift downwards. Skin becomes wrinkled and sagging as there is less dat to hold the same volume of skin. Certain types of dermal filler, placed very superficially, help to re-volumise these fat pads and anchor the skin up to alleviate sagging.
