Hyaluronic acid fillers are growing in popularity

The use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in the US is steadily growing, according to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

The data shows that between 2013-2014 filler treatments grew by 8%. This growth is supported by marketplace data what shows US unit sales of HA dermal fillers were up by 17% in 2014.

Dr David Bank, Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York, said: "These findings are consistent with what I see every day in my practice. Over the past few years, I have noticed a sharp increase in patients asking about non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers. Patients are looking for aesthetic treatments that are relatively quick."

He added: "HA fillers, like the Juvederm family of fillers, are made from a modified form of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance that occurs within the body. Juvederm XC and Juvederm Voluma XC each offer patients natural-looking and long-lasting results."
