Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a gel-like substance into the skin to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.

The gel is made of various substances, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and calcium hydroxylapatite. These substances are naturally found in the body and are safe for use in cosmetic treatments. Once the filler is injected, it plumps up the skin and stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that gives the skin its elasticity. Over time, the filler is naturally absorbed by the body, leaving behind smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

They are often used to treat wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, nose, and eyes, as well as to add volume to the cheeks and lips. The effects of dermal fillers can last from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism.

Dermal filler treatments are quick and relatively painless. The injection process takes only a few minutes, and most people experience only mild discomfort or bruising. Depending on the area being treated, a topical anaesthetic can be applied to numb the skin beforehand.
