What are dermal fillers?
Revanesse® Versa™+ and Revanesse® Lips™+ are FDA approved hyaluronic acid fillers which are injected beneath the skin. Revanesse® Versa™+ treats moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds while Revanesse® Lips™+ is used for submucosal implantation for lip augmentation.
These gel-like substances are mainly comprised of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body which is excellent for hydration.
Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water–1/4 teaspoon of hyaluronic acid can hold about 1 1/2 gallons of water. Because of it’s ability to hydrate, synthetic, plant-based versions of hyaluronic acid have been developed and are commonly added to skincare products, injected into the body, or taken orally as supplements.
Dermal fillers are a cost-effective alternative to elective plastic surgery procedures. Results are temporary but typically last 6 months or more.
