Dermal fillers are used to smooth harsh lines of the face and remove wrinkles. The most commonly used dermal fillers are collagen or hyaluronic based. Fillers are injected beneath the skin to add volume to the skin, and thus create a youthful look.
How many types of filling agents are there?

Restylane and Perlane
Restylane and Perlane are the brand names for stabilized hyaluronic acids. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide found in the connective tissue of the dermis. In combination with collagen and elastin fibers it gives the skin shape and moisture. Restylane and Perlane are the most popular dermal fillers applied to the face. The results of the treatment remain visible for 6 to 8 months.
