Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic treatments used to restore volume, contour, and smooth the skin by injecting a gel-like substance into specific areas of the face and sometimes other parts of the body. These fillers are typically composed of biocompatible materials, with hyaluronic acid being a common choice, which is natural to the body.
Dermal fillers work by replenishing lost volume, stimulating collagen production, and providing structural support to the skin. They can effectively address signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
The procedure begins with your practitioner discussing your aesthetic goals. During the treatment, a fine needle or cannula is used to precisely inject the filler into areas where volume loss, wrinkles, or sagging skin are a concern. This can include areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, under-eye hollows, and jawline.
The results of dermal filler treatments are typically immediate and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. These treatments are generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
Dermal fillers offer a versatile and customizable approach to facial rejuvenation, allowing patients to achieve natural-looking results and enhance their facial contours while maintaining their unique features.
