Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a normal component of skin that is produced by our body’s own fibroblasts throughout our lives.
Hyaluronic acid macromolecules attract water, which is responsible for the suppleness and thickness of young skin. The amount is hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases with age with consequent reduction in suppleness and thickness. As the thickness decreases, the skin appears to collapse on itself making wrinkles and folds more noticeable.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are cosmetic injectables that replace lost hyaluronic acid as we age. Volume and thickness are restored, and wrinkles and folds are diminished.
When performed with precise skill by a board-certified dermatologist, the results with hyaluronic acid fillers are very good. When necessary, however, a naturally-occurring enzyme hyaluronidase can remove hyaluronic acid within 24 hours if the patient is not happy with their results. This makes removal of unwanted hyaluronic acid fillers very easy.
HA fillers are very popular with patients as they are FDA approved, considered safe for most patients, and simply restore lost HA stolen from us by the ravages of time.

Restylane Lyft
Restylane Lyft, former known as Perlane, is similar to Restylane except that the hyaluronic acid particle size is smaller, thereby making it a formal implant.
