Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are made of various kinds of natural, man-made or synthetic materials that have been developed for injection into the skin and lips; including hyaluronic acid.
The trend for wearing killer heels or designer footwear from the likes of Valentino, Christian Louboutin or Jimmy Choo means that the wearer can often suffer from discomfort in their feet due to the extra pressure on their metatarsal bones from the gravity-defying footwear. The need to cushion the ball of the foot to relieve this pressure has lead to both over-the-counter padding products, as well as more natural padding by adding volume to the foot through injection.
