§  Types of dermal fillers:

·       Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring acid in your skin. It gives your skin volume and keeps it hydrated. With age, your body stops making hyaluronic acid. Results from HA injections usually last six months to a year.

·       Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a type of filler made up of calcium hydroxylapatite gel microspheres, and elements in the gel help to create a structure that mimics connective tissue. The ingredients in this filler create volume instantly but also stimulate collagen and elastin production which increases skin quality over time. Results from these fillers typically last 16-24 months. Healthcare providers usually use CaHA fillers for deeper wrinkles.

·       Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a substance that helps your body create its own collagen. Healthcare providers usually use poly-L-lactic acid to smooth deep wrinkles on your face. The results can last two years or more.
