HA is a natural sugar found in the skin, it does not contain human or animal material. It delivers nutrients to the skin, helping the skin retain moisture and softness while also adding volume. HA fillers are temporary, FDA approved, and are the safest fillers in the market.  

Restylane® and Juvéderm are the most common Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in the U.S market.  They both have a variety of subtypes that mainly vary in their consistency, thickness, and longevity. Thicker fillers volumize, lift, and plump whereas thinner fillers smooth permanent lines in the skin. The longevity of the product depends on the type, treated area, age, activity level, lifestyle, and the filler can last from 3 months to 24 months. Touch up treatments may be necessary in order to maintain desired results.
