What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features by filling in areas where the skin has lost volume due to aging or other factors. They’re often used to treat things like fine lines, sagging skin, and hollow areas in the face.
The most common type of dermal filler is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a substance naturally found in the body that helps the skin retain moisture and keep its shape. Other types of fillers can include materials like calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and even your own fat (fat transfer).
The results typically last anywhere from six months to a few years, depending on the type of filler and the area treated. It’s a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation, and the procedure is usually quick with minimal downtime.
People commonly use dermal fillers to:
- Add volume to the cheeks
- Smooth out lines around the mouth (like nasolabial folds or marionette lines)
- Plump the lips
- Reduce under-eye hollows
- Restore volume to the hands or temples
