What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used in cosmetic and medical aesthetic procedures to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve the appearance of the skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular and are known for their natural-looking results and temporary effects, which can last from several months to a year. Dermal fillers work by filling in wrinkles, lines, and hollow areas of the skin, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Common uses of Dermal Fillers:

Wrinkle reduction: Dermal fillers can be used to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

Lip augmentation: Add volume and definition to the lips, creating a plumper and more attractive lip contour.

Cheek augmentation: Enhance cheekbones and restore lost volume in the cheeks, giving a more youthful and lifted appearance.
