Use of wrinkle fillers
Skin implants have been used in dermatology for several decades. Filler materials are used for correction of skin defects that are located below the skin surface, most commonly for wrinkle removal. Various types of materials are introduced into the skin by using an injection. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand of clients and new types of skin fillers have been developed. Enlargement of a certain part of the human body lacking the desired size by using its own tissue or an artificial implant is referred to as augmentation.
