If you’ve ever wanted to improve the appearance of your skin, you’ve probably encountered a host of beauty treatments that range from simple microdermabrasion and chemical peels to more unfamiliar microneedling devices. One of the most popular forms of non-surgical wrinkle treatments are dermal fillers.

What are dermal fillers?

The term encompasses a number of medical injections that are designed to smooth out wrinkles or “fill in” areas of lost volume. The variety can be overwhelming, so we’ve compiled primers on the most popular treatments.
