Dermal fillers: Sagging skin is no more a worry

Dermal fillers are aesthetic tools that help to manage skin ageing. They are gel-like injectables that fill the soft tissue present beneath the skin and improve the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkling and ageing. Plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr Parag Telang says that they are ideal for filling facial lines or creases, enhancing facial contours and pumping up lips. Dr. Telang says, "They provide a subtle look which can be adjusted to meet your cosmetic needs. Fillers are used for eliminating static lines, the lines which occur due to sun damage, and incidentally with age people start losing fat on the face, and fillers are also used to replace lost volume on the face, lips, under-eye, wherever the fat has been lost. They maintain the elasticity of the skin and the firmness of the tissues."
