In today's episode, we're doing a deep dive into the world of dermal fillers. There are many FDA-approved dermal fillers available at medical spas, including the Juvederm family, Restylane family, RHA collection, and more. Not all dermal fillers are created the same. There are fillers made with hyaluronic acid (Juvederm, Restylane, RHA, Belotero, Revanesse Versa), calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse), poly-l-lactic acid (Sculptra), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) (Bellafill), and autologous fat (Renuva). They all have different characteristics and have been created to restore volume, balance the face, and provide a more natural and rested look.

Join us in today's episode as we talk about the science behind dermal fillers, the difference between the FDA-approved dermal fillers currently available, and how we feel about them as licensed naturopathic doctors.
