Dermal Filler Injections

Dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic injectable used to restore volume and smooth wrinkles in the face. They are made of a substance called hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body and helps keep skin hydrated and plump. Dermal fillers are used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds in the face, and can also be used to add volume to hollowed out areas such as the cheeks and lips.

 

How do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers are injected into the skin using a very fine needle. The filler then works to add volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds. The hyaluronic acid in the filler binds with the water in the skin to create a fuller, smoother look. Dermal fillers are also used to add volume to areas of the face that have become hollow or thin due to aging or weight loss.

 

What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers provide many benefits for patients looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds. The results of dermal fillers are immediate and can last up to 18 months. Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume to areas of the face that have become thin or hollow due to aging or weight loss.

 

Are There any Side Effects?

Dermal fillers are generally considered safe and side effects are minimal. The most common side effects are swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects typically fade after a few days. In rare cases, there may be an allergic reaction to the dermal filler. If this occurs, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
