With age, the skin loses its elasticity and the muscles beneath the skin lose their volume. This effect causes the skin to sag, giving the face a hollow aged appearance. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that can be injected in these sunken areas. The gel restores the lost volume of the muscles and smoothens the skin above to give a youthful look. Lip fillers also work the same way. The gel is injected into the lips to give them a fuller look.
