Dermal Fillers in Lake County, IL

Hyaluronic acid and collagen are two essential components for healthy skin. HA is known for its amazing water-binding capacity; a single molecule can bond with up to 250 water molecules. Young skin that contains the correct amount of hyaluronic acid will look wrinkle-free, smooth, and firm. But with age, HA naturally begins to deplete, resulting in dull, saggy skin.

The good news is that you can achieve younger looking skin with HA treatments, which provide immediate results like diminished wrinkles and a more moisturized face. Additionally, when the injected HA biodegrades (breakdown of HA molecules into carbon dioxide and water), it further enhances skin’s appearance and makes it better than before.
