Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a substance produced by the body that attracts and binds to water. This compound, which is found between the top two layers of the skin, keeps skin looking plump, full and smooth. While hyaluronic acid is plentiful in children, it begins to deteriorate over time thanks to ultraviolet radiation and other factors. When it finally deteriorates to the point that it can no longer support the skin, wrinkles begin to appear. However, it is possible to restore the smooth, full skin of youth by replacing hyaluronic acid that has deteriorated through medical treatments.
For those who want to smooth moderate facial wrinkles or improve the volume of their lips, a hyaluronic acid dermal filler can be an excellent alternatives to plastic surgery. While many cosmetic surgeries correct wrinkles by removing skin, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers smooth wrinkles by supporting the skin naturally. Because these fillers are introduced to the body through simple injections, they are much less invasive than plastic surgery.

Examples of Hyaluronic Acid Treatments
Many patients prefer hyaluronic acid treatments to surgery even though they are temporary, because they take effect immediately and require minimal recovery time. At Shizuka New York, we offer two hyaluronic acid dermal fillers: Restylane treatments and Juvederm treatments.
Both of these treatments are injections that can replenish hyaluronic acid in strategic parts of the body to produce a younger appearance. And, because the hyaluronic acid in these products comes from chemical compounds instead of animals, they carry virtually no risk of transmitting animal-based diseases or allergic reactions.
Restylane treatments typically last 6-9 months, and they are ideal for filling in nasolabial folds, also known as the smile lines. Juvederm treatments are the only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler proven to be safe for persons of color and are ideal for smoothing moderate to severe folds or adding volume to the lip.
