What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-based treatments designed to restore lost volume, contour facial features, and enhance natural beauty. Made primarily from hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally found in the skin—fillers offer safe, non-surgical solutions for improving facial symmetry and refreshing your appearance.
They provide immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance or rejuvenate several facial areas, including:
- Lips – adding volume, shape, hydration
- Cheeks – lifting and restoring mid-face fullness
- Chin – improving projection and definition
- Jawline – sculpting and creating a sharper contour
- Nose (Non-surgical Rhinoplasty) – smoothing bumps, refining shape
- Tear Trough – reducing under-eye hollowness and tired appearance
- Nasolabial Folds – softening smile lines
- Marionette Lines – lifting corners of the mouth
Whether you’re aiming for subtle enhancement or more defined contours, fillers offer versatile results.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Most fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA) which attracts water and adds natural volume beneath the skin.
When injected precisely by trained professionals, HA fillers can:
- Smooth deep lines
- Enhance facial balance
- Hydrate the skin
- Restore youthful volume
Results are immediate and continue improving over the following days as the filler settles.
