Fillers

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours.

Fillers can be used to treat a range of cosmetic concerns, including deep wrinkles, lines around the mouth and eyes, hollow cheeks, and thin lips. They can also be used to enhance facial features, such as the chin, jawline, and cheeks. The procedure involves injecting the filler into specific areas of the face using a fine needle. The effects of fillers are typically visible immediately and can last for several months or up to a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area of the face being treated.

There are several different types of fillers available, each with their own unique properties and benefits. Some fillers are designed to add volume and lift to the face, while others are better suited for filling in fine lines and wrinkles. The most commonly used fillers are hyaluronic acid fillers, which are considered safe and effective for most people.

How long the effects of dermal fillers will last depends on the product, the area of treatment, and the patient. Generally speaking, the denser the product is and the more deeply it is injected, the longer it will last, although this is not a hard and fast rule. To maintain your results, your cosmetic surgeon will simply repeat treatment, adjusting the amount and techniques as necessary to ensure optimal results.
