This kind of filler is a gel made with hyaluronic acid particles. Hyaluronic acid works by promoting keratin production (the substance the surface layer of skin is predominantly made of), strengthening the collagen structure of the dermis and hydrating the skin. Young people have an abundance of hyaluronic acid, which keeps their skin looking healthy and hydrated.

This kind of dermal filler is recommended for moderate to severe wrinkles. The effects of hyaluronic acid last for up to a year.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are usually recognised under the following brand names:

    Restylane®


    Juvederm®


    Juvéderm® ULTRA

    Surgiderm®

    Hydrafill®

    Hylaform®

    Dermalive®


Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular of all the options in the UK, probably due to the fact that it\'s made with naturally occurring substances, meaning allergic reactions are rare. Also, the effects can be easily reversed simply by injecting a neutralising agent.Save
