Wrinkle Injections: What are the Options?By Leslie Baumann, M.D.

Wrinkles are caused by loss of vital components in the lower level of the skin called the dermis.
There is no way to topically replace the building blocks of the dermis (collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid). There are, however, quite a few products - known collectively as dermal fillers - that dermatologists can inject into the dermis to temporarily restore your skin's volume and minimize the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and scars.

Dermal fillers are becoming more accessible, affordable, and natural-looking every day. Let's consider a few of the most popular fillers on the market (and keep in mind that many doctors use these products in combination to achieve the desired results):Dr. Baumann is author of the best-selling book, " The Skin Type Solution." To learn more about her revolutionary skin typing system, visit her Web site, SkinTypeSolutions.com
