As we age, our skin becomes dry, lined, rough, wrinkled and saggy. But these five signs of aging can now be easily prevented, and even fought, by science and technology. New products which contain chemicals from natural and synthetic sources are being 
formulated to regain the youthfulness of the skin. Some of these products come in soaps, lotions, creams and injections. Most of these beauty products can be bought in department stores and drug stores, but some of them need a doctor’s supervision. Thankfully, lots and lots of money and complicated surgical procedures are now unnecessary to retain one’s beauty.
Having an upward trend in the market nowadays are dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are materials that contain a variety of substances such as hyaluronic acid. They are injected in the face so as to plump up the skin, making it smooth and young. These injectable fillers are not new in the cosmetic and aesthetic industry; they were used as early as 1890. However, a lot of modifications and developments have been done through research to these products. The procedure for dermal fillers is safer and more sophisticated than the usual treatment, which back then requires fat transfer from on part of the body to the face of the patient.
There are different types of dermal fillers. The most common are Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, Evolence, Sculptra, Prevelle Silk, Elevess, Cosmoplast and Cosmoderm, and Artefill. Each of these came from different sources, made of different substances, sold at different prices and used for different purposes. Typically, they last for about three to twelve months. But some of the dermal fillers are permanent. The most common of these non-resorbable fillers are Artecoll, Aquamid, Bio-Alcamid, and Matridex. Non-permanent fillers usually do not require a patient to undergo a skin test but permanent fillers do. This is done to prevent allergic reactions from the contained substances of the product.
If one wishes to undergo a dermal filler procedure, he or she needs to see a medical practitioner. Some medical examinations are needed to be done to track your medical history.

A detailed medical history will help detect whether you are allergic to a certain type of dermal filler or not, if it’s safe for you to undergo the treatment or not. Also, after the procedure, a medical advice is important so as not to suffer from severe side effects. The patient also needs to perform some post-treatment routines to avoid skin swelling and rashes.
These dermal fillers are basically safe. With the right combination of a medical professional, the right brand and post-treatment follow up, there should be no problem whatsoever when using these products. Also, using dermal fillers instead of undergoing complex surgeries avoids the body from further physical harm. The only problem with these products is that most of them are non-permanent so the patient must undergo the same treatment after some time. But this is just a little drawback compared to the huge benefits gained from these products. With them, we can say that the search for the fountain of youth is so yesterday.
