Dermal Fillers
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours, helping you achieve a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. These injectable treatments use gel-like substances, such as hyaluronic acid, to plump areas that have lost elasticity or volume due to aging or other factors.
Commonly treated areas include the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, jawline, and under-eye hollows. Dermal fillers are highly versatile and can also address scars, improve symmetry, and enhance natural facial features. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and delivers immediate results with little to no downtime.
Dermal fillers are suitable for individuals seeking subtle enhancements or noticeable rejuvenation without undergoing surgery. They are also customizable, allowing dermatologists to tailor the treatment to your specific needs and aesthetic goals. With long-lasting results and a high safety profile, dermal fillers are one of the most popular solutions for facial rejuvenation and enhancement.
How Dermal Fillers Work: Step-by-Step Process
The process of dermal filler treatment is simple, safe, and minimally invasive. Results are visible immediately after treatment, and the effects improve as the filler settles over the next few days.
Consultation
The treatment begins with a consultation where the dermatologist assesses your facial structure, discusses your goals, and recommends the most suitable filler type and treatment plan.
Preparation
The targeted areas are cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Injection
Using fine needles or cannulas, the filler is carefully injected into specific areas to add volume, smooth wrinkles, or enhance facial features. The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, you’ll receive instructions on aftercare, including avoiding strenuous activity, direct sunlight, or excessive facial movements for the first 24 hours.
