What Are Dermal Fillers
Collagen is a natural protein which provides structure to your bone, cartilage, skin and tendons. It is an essential substance for skin strength and elasticity.
As one grows older, the natural collagen starts to break down, therefore causing skin to crease, wrinkle and droop. In order to combat these obvious signs of aging, many people come to the Thunder Bay Laser Clinic for dermal filler injections to replace their depleted natural collagen supply.
There are several types of dermal fillers: Dermalogen (made from donor tissue), Autologen (made from the patient's own skin), Fascia (made from donor tissue), HylaForm (made from a molecular component of the body), Restylane (injectable gel similar to what is found in the body), and Fibril (injectable gelatin powder mixed with the patient's blood).
