Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and elasticity. Fillers can restore youthful fullness to areas like the cheeks, lips, and temples.

What can Dermal Fillers treat?

Dermal fillers can be used to:

• Fill in wrinkles and fine lines

• Add volume to the cheeks and temples

• Enhance lip volume and shape

• Fill in hollow areas under the eyes

• Improve the appearance of scars

• Lift and contour the jawline

• Restore volume to the hands

During the treatment

Topical numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort. Dermal filler is injected into specific areas using a fine needle or cannula. Massaging the area ensures an even distribution of the filler. The procedure usually takes around 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.

After the treatment

After receiving dermal filler treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. Results are usually immediate and can last anywhere from several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.
