Los Angeles Dermal Fillers
Helping You Reclaim the Smooth Skin of Youth
As we age, our face naturally loses volume from subcutaneous fat. This brings our muscles closer to the surface, which contributes to areas such as smile lines and thin lips. Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers injected into the the skin works by restoring volume thereby smoothing out lines and creases in the skin.
Dermal fillers are used for many cosmetic purposes, including:
- Plumping the lips
- Smoothing facial lines
- Removing shadows and wrinkles around the eyes
- Diminishing the appearance of recessed scars
- Softening facial wrinkles

What Is In a Dermal Filler Injection?
There are many different types of dermal fillers, each of which are used for different purposes. The FDA has approved a variety of substances for use in dermal fillers. No matter where you receive your dermal filler treatment, make sure that all products used are FDA approved and that you do not have any known allergies to the ingredients.
FDA approved dermal filler ingredients include:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA): A naturally occurring substance in the skin, HA injections can hydrate and plump the skin for 6 to 12 months.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA): CaHA is naturally produced in the bones. These injections can remove deep facial lines and wrinkles, and the results can last for up to 12 months.
- Poly-L-lactic Acid: This is a collagen stimulator that smooths facial lines in the skin by increasing collagen production in the body. Results can last for more than two years.
- Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA): PMMA injections treat medium-to-deep wrinkles. The effects of PMMA can last for years, but it can also take up to three months for the results to become noticeable.
Always speak up and ask questions about the components included in any dermal filler treatment recommended for you.
