What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are smooth injectable gels composed of different ingredients. Restylane and Juvederm fillers contain Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural molecule in our bodies that helps hydrate and gives volume to our skin. HA attracts and binds water, which enhances the moisture and elasticity of our skin.

What happens after your skin clears?
Once your skin is healed, we recommend maintenance therapy. This involves a plan to reduce treatment dose or frequency. The goal is to maintain your results but decrease the number of phototherapy sessions per week. It is important to note that different changes in our lives (i.e. stress, illness, trauma, or childbirth) can cause the immune system in our skin to become overactive again and make the skin condition flare. In this case, more active treatment with increased light therapy dose and frequency is often temporarily needed.
