Dermal fillers have become a cornerstone of non-surgical aesthetic treatments, offering individuals a way to rejuvenate their appearance without the need for invasive procedures. At Beauty Aesthetics, we specialize in providing high-quality dermal filler treatments tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. This article will explore the various types of dermal fillers and their uses, helping you understand how these treatments can enhance your natural beauty.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are typically composed of naturally occurring or synthetic materials that integrate into the skin, providing a plumping effect. At Beauty Aesthetics, we use only FDA-approved dermal fillers to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Types of Dermal Fillers
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
- Description: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture and adds volume. HA fillers are among the most popular due to their versatility and natural-looking results.
- Uses: Commonly used for lip augmentation, cheek enhancement, and smoothing nasolabial folds (smile lines).
- Brands: Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers
- Description: Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel, these fillers provide a thicker consistency, making them suitable for deeper wrinkles and volume loss.
- Uses: Ideal for treating deeper nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and enhancing cheek volume.
- Brands: Radiesse
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Fillers
- Description: This synthetic filler stimulates collagen production over time, resulting in gradual and long-lasting volume restoration.

- Description: This method uses the patient’s own fat, harvested from another part of the body, which is then purified and injected into the treatment area.
