The Benefits Of Dermal Fillers

Can dermal fillers help me?

As time goes by, skin becomes lax. This is a natural part of aging skin but it's not what many perceive as beautiful. Symmetrical, youthful and smooth skin are promoted everyday. So, where does that leave you? Easy. At The Fountain Clinic, located in Rocky River, OH, doctors provide patients with dermal fillers to regain and rejuvenate that youthful look.

What are injectable dermal fillers?

For several years collagen was the first and only FDA approved filler consisting of highly purified bovine, a dermal tissue extracted from cow.

A new filler was later developed that had only one percent rejection rate and contained human collagen. There was simultaneously a popular silicone filler removed from the market when silicone was banned from being used in breast implants.

Today, hyaluronic acid-based fillers, a naturally occurring substance that contributes to cell proliferation, are popular. Hyaluronic acid based fillers are made from bacterial proteins and don't require skin testing because they're already found in the body. The transparent gel is injected into facial tissue to eliminate wrinkles and smoothen folds.
