Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to add volume to the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. They are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the skin, or other synthetic materials. Dermal fillers are injected into the skin using a fine needle, and the procedure is typically performed by a healthcare provider in a clinical setting.

There are many different types of dermal fillers available, and each one is designed to target specific concerns. Some dermal fillers are used to add volume to the cheeks or lips, while others are used to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. The effects of dermal fillers typically last for several months to a year, depending on the specific product used and the individual’s skin.

Dermal filler injections are generally considered safe, but as with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects. These may include swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site, as well as the risk of infection or allergic reaction. It is important to follow the instructions of a healthcare provider and to disclose any allergies or medical conditions prior to receiving dermal filler injections.
