About
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to add volume to the skin, fill in wrinkles, and restore a more youthful appearance. They are commonly used to treat nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and to plump up the lips.
The most common type of dermal filler is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.
The procedure involves a series of small injections into the targeted areas of the face. The treatment typically takes only a few minutes to complete and does not require anesthesia. The effects of dermal fillers are immediate and can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used and the individual's skin type.
The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require any downtime, although there may be some mild swelling or redness at the injection site immediately after the procedure.
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance facial features, smooth out wrinkles, and restore volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging. They can also be used to plump up the lips, reshape the nose, and contour the cheeks and chin.
The number of dermal filler treatments required varies based on the individual's skin concerns and the type of filler used, but typically multiple sessions are recommended for optimal results.
