What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a cornerstone of modern aesthetic medicine, designed to restore lost volume, smooth facial lines, and enhance facial contours with immediate, natural-looking results. These gel-like injectables are placed beneath the skin to lift, sculpt, and rejuvenate targeted areas of the face—most commonly the cheeks, lips, jawline, and around the eyes.
Formulated with substances like hyaluronic acid (HA)—a molecule naturally found in the skin—dermal fillers attract and retain moisture, instantly plumping the skin and softening wrinkles. Unlike bio-regenerative fillers, which work gradually to rebuild collagen, traditional dermal fillers provide visible results immediately, making them ideal for patients seeking an instant facial refreshment with minimal downtime.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers work by adding volume beneath the skin to smooth wrinkles, restore youthful contours, and enhance facial features. Most fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that retains moisture and supports skin hydration.
Once injected, the filler integrates into the tissue, providing structure and lift for a refreshed, natural look.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your metabolism. On average, results last six to 18 months, though some advanced formulas may last even longer. Periodic touch-ups can help maintain your results over time.

How Dermal Fillers Rejuvenate Your Face
