What are fillers?
A filler is a gel-like material that Dr. Rothfleisch injects beneath your skin to improve your appearance. The categories of fillers are based on their ingredients, and the most common part is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA naturally occurs in your skin and helps keep it stay plump and hydrated.
After Dr. Rothfleisch injects the filler, you can expect the results to last up to one year. The types of fillers include:

- Poly-L-lactic acid: a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material
- Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA): a synthetic, biocompatible substance
