Hylaform Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler

Birmingham AL Injectable Fillers at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery

Hylaform is a dermal filler made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid that mimics the effects of your body's natural hyaluronic acid. When injected just below the surface of the skin, Hylaform^® adds volume to the skin, smoothing unwanted lines and wrinkles.

Hylaform is one of the Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers used by the Birmingham, Alabama cosmetic surgeons at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery to replenish the youthful look of your face with fullness and volume.

A Key Component of Beautiful Skin

Healthy skin has an abundance of two important substances, collagen and hyaluronic acid, that keep your skin looking smooth and supple. Collagen is a protein that provides your skin with structural support. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar found in all living cells that attracts and binds water, hydrating the skin and giving it volume.

With time, sunlight and other factors, collagen and hyaluronic acid in your skin diminish, the skin loses structure and volume, and unwelcome lines and wrinkles appear. Now you can temporarily replace your skin's lost hyaluronic acid using Hylaform (hylan B gel).
