Dermal fillers can help achieve a smoother, fuller look in facial skin that has lost volume due to aging. Administered by injection, dermal fillers can also address the appearance of acne and other scars, fine lines, deep wrinkles, and hollow areas.
Other injectable substances, including botulinum toxin and deoxycholic acid, are not classified as fillers but can help you achieve a smoother or younger appearance.

- Calcium hydroxylaptatite, which treats deeper wrinkles and skin folds
- Your own body fat, harvested by liposuction and used to enhance facial fullness
