What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They work by filling areas beneath the skin with gel-like substances—most commonly hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule in the body. Some fillers also stimulate collagen production for longer-term improvement in skin texture and firmness.
Popular Treatment Areas:
- Lips: Adds fullness, improved shape and symmetry
- Cheeks: Restore youthful contours
- Under-eyes: Reduces hollowing and dark shadows
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds): Softens deep creases
- Marionette lines: Lift corners of the mouth and decreases the appearance of jowls
- Chin & Jawline: Enhances structure, provides support and improves profile
- Hands: Restores lost volume and hides visible veins/tendons
