Dermal Filler Facts & Info

What are dermal fillers made of? 

Dermal fillers used by Siren Medical Aesthetics are made with hyaluronic acid, naturally occurring in the body. As we age, the hyaluronic acid polymers decrease in size, allowing less moisture to be absorbed. Due to this, skin becomes dry, and signs of aging, such as the disintegration of facial fat pads, are more apparent. 

How long do dermal fillers last? 

The length of time dermal filler lasts depends on several factors. Juvederm products are reported to last approximately 9-12 months before the body reabsorbs it. As written by Allergan, here are the lengths of time each dermal filler lasts:
