Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps to retain moisture and create a plumping effect. When injected into the skin, the filler binds with water molecules to create a smooth, youthful appearance. Other types of fillers, such as calcium hydroxylapatite and polylactic acid, work by stimulating collagen production to add volume and firmness to the skin over time.
