Dermal injections and fillers are skin rejuvenation cosmetic procedures designed to reduce the signs of aging. Dermal injections typically consist of a purified protein injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet near the eyes, and thick bands in the neck. These lines appear over time with everyday muscle activity of the face. Dermal injections soften and relax wrinkles by preventing facial muscles from contracting.
Another non-invasive anti-aging procedure is fillers, which add volume to the face, usually by filling in wrinkles and lines, and sometimes by plumping up areas of the face that have lost fat pads (such as the cheeks, under-eye area, and temples), causing the skin to sink and sag.
