Those notable differences might include theappearance of new facial wrinkles or cheekbones that aren’t as high as they once used to be.These are visible signs of aging that usually makes people look older and less appealing.However, such changes are normal and happen when there is a loss of subcutaneous fatssupporting the skin, loss of skin structural proteins-collagen and elastin which keep skin firmand elastic, and the loss of hyaluronic acid that keeps the skin hydrated. Fortunately, dermalfillers can work out as the best anti-aging treatment in Faridabad offered by Dr. SoumyaSingh, the best hair doctor at The Skin Clinique for managing minor skin flaws andpremature signs of aging.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are one of the non-surgical, facial aesthetic treatments. They are soft tissueinjectables that healthcare providers administer underneath the skin to temporarily reduce theappearance of undesirable wrinkles, contour and create volume, and revitalize the skin. Mostcommonly used dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid- a substance naturally existing in thebody and responsible for keeping the body hydrated.
Different Types of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can be of various kinds. The best suitable one can be chosen by discussingoptions with the healthcare provider.

The different “off-the-shelf” fillers offered at The Skin Clinique, anti-aging clinic in Faridabad include:
- Hyaluronic acid (HA): It is a substance naturally occurring in the body, abundantlyin the skin but with age, the body may stop producing it. This acid/sugar moleculebinds with water and helps the skin retain its natural water content, thereby keepingthe skin hydrated and plump. When used as a stabilized, non-animal soft injectablegel, it boosts the skin supply of hyaluronic acid to add volume to the skin andrevitalize it. The effect of tissue-friendly HA injections usually lasts six months to ayear.
- Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA): It is another natural filler with CaHA found inhuman bones. Usually, it’s preferred by people for deeper wrinkles. The results ofthis filler last for about a year.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA): It is a collagen-boosting substance usually used byhealthcare providers to smoothen deep facial wrinkles. The effects of this filler canlast for two years or more.
- Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA): It is a semi-permanent filler consisting ofcollagen and very tiny beads that stay under the skin after being injected.
