Well everyone, today we will be talking about something I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about, especially since social media is riddled with the rich and famous looking as young and glam as ever. You guessed it, I’m talking about Botox and dermal fillers. So, what are these magical treatments of youth and plumpness? Let’s get right into it and start with dermal fillers, which are substances that are injected into the skin. They can be made up of hyaluronic acid which is a natural, jelly-like substance found in the skin, that gives it volume (YAY!) and is lost with age (BOOO!). However, they can be made from other substances such as Polycaprolactone which is more viscose and elastic than hyaluronic acid (and longer lasting too!). Dermal Fillers are injected into the skin to fill wrinkles and to volumise or contour the face non-surgically. One of the most common for example, is having filler injected into the lips for a fuller pout. Although fillers can be utilised in various ways including on other areas of the body, not just the face, or to fill in scars. Polycaprolactone can even stimulate the natural production of collagen too! Um, yes
