Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They work by plumping up areas of the skin that have lost volume due to aging or other factors, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Common types of dermal fillers include hyaluronic acid, which hydrates and adds volume; calcium hydroxylapatite, which stimulates collagen production and provides structural support; and poly-L-lactic acid, which encourages the body’s natural collagen production for longer-lasting results. Dermal fillers can be used in various areas of the face, including the cheeks, lips, and under-eye region, to enhance features, correct asymmetries, and provide a more youthful appearance. The procedure is typically quick with minimal downtime, and results are usually visible immediately, though they can continue to improve as the filler settles. While generally safe, the choice of filler and technique should be tailored to individual needs and performed by a qualified practitioner to achieve the best outcomes and minimize potential risks.
