Dermal Fillers and Injectables

Before you commit to plastic surgery, learn about dermal fillers and injectables.

Why Use Dermal Fillers?

In today’s society dermal fillers are a critical part of maintaining ones appearance. Their job is to replace volume that we lose as we age. The results are immediate and offer no down time. The treatment is quick, usually less than one hour. At Pure 111 our use of fillers is very delicate and conservative. Our goal is to enhance the natural beauty and bring out the best qualities of your face, not to look like a different person. Facial fillers offered include options like the Restylane® family of fillers, Belotero, and the Juvéderm® family of fillers.  These fillers beautifully restore volume to areas of the face that become depleted as we age.

If you are looking for a touch up for your face or to reverse signs of aging, we are in the 5% top dermal filler providers in the greater St. Louis region.

What Do Dermal Fillers Help With?

Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or outer layer of the skin, acts as the skin’s primary defense against the environment. The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, consists primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network. Most facial wrinkles and deeper folds occur within the dermal layer of the skin.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule. Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. In this way, hyaluronic acid can be thought of as the body’s internal moisturizer. But, as we age, HA diminishes contributing to the presence of lines and folds. Injectable gel form of HA works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to diminish wrinkles.
