Injectable fillers are a type of soft-tissue fillers which can be injected just beneath the skin to help reverse the appearance of aging. However, many of these fillers are later absorbed by the body, often after approximately six months. Soft-tissue fillers can help reduce wrinkling and create a smoother appearance for the skin. Hyaluronic acid is commonly used in injectable fillers. Previously, collagen was often used but caused allergic reactions in some individuals. Complications such as bruising, swelling, and redness can occur.
