Can Juvederm® or Restylane® reverse skin aging by stimulating your own collagen production? Cosmetic dermatologist’s perspective from Washington, DC, Bethesda and Chevy Chase, MD

A recent study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology in March 2013 demonstrates that cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler injections result in more than just wrinkle correction from introducing a filler substance into the skin. In fact, hyaluronic acid fillers have been shown to stimulate skin’s own collagen production by activating fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen.

With aging, fibroblasts shrink and their collagen production is diminished. Hyaluronic acid fillers can stimulate fibroblast function and thus lead to increased collagen deposition around the filler. In practical terms, this results in progressively less need for the filler in the long run in patients that undergo several treatments over the years.
