Soft Tissue Fillers

The injection of soft tissue fillers is a procedure used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A dermatologist injects the soft tissue filler beneath the surface of the skin where it temporarily plumps and smooths out the lines and wrinkles. Fillers are a flexible substance made of either human or bovine collagen, hyaluronic acid, the patient’s own fat or donor tissue. This non-surgical procedure replaces collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin, which are all components of skin.
