Today, many noninvasive procedures are available which aim at rejuvenation without the risk, recovery time, and expense of major surgery. One of these procedures is done by the use of dermal fillers.

Other areas that can be enhanced by dermal fillers include the lips, which can look fuller and younger after an injection.
