Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that adds volume and fullness to the face. They are injected under the skin to fill in wrinkles, lines, and hollow areas, giving the skin a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Dermal fillers can enhance the cheeks, lips, under-eye area, and jawline.

The main active ingredient in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body. It helps to hydrate the skin and add volume, making it ideal for dermal fillers. Other types of fillers, such as poly-L-lactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, and polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA), also exist but are less common.

Dermal fillers can also be used for non-cosmetic purposes, such as treating scarring and volume loss due to ageing and helping with facial symmetry.

Dermal filler treatments are safe and effective, with minimal risks and side effects. The most common side effects include mild swelling, redness, and discomfort at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. The procedure takes around 30 minutes, and the results can last anywhere between 6 months and 2 years, depending on the type of filler and the area treated.

Overall, dermal fillers are a versatile cosmetic treatment that can be used to enhance facial features, improve the overall appearance of the skin, and help restore volume loss due to ageing. They are a non-surgical alternative to facelifts and can be used to create natural-looking results with minimal downtime. When administered by trained and experienced professionals, dermal fillers can provide a safe and effective way to improve one’s appearance and boost self-confidence.
