Dermal filler
Dermal filler treatment involves the injection of substances, commonly hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, into the skin to add volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours.
This cosmetic procedure is designed to address signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of facial volume.
Key aspects Key aspects of the dermal filler treatment
Volume Enhancement
Dermal fillers are used to augment and restore volume to specific areas of the face. This is particularly beneficial in regions where natural fat or collagen has diminished over time.
Wrinkle Reduction
By filling in and plumping up targeted areas, dermal fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Common treatment areas include nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and the lips.
Facial Contouring
Dermal fillers can be strategically injected to contour and reshape certain facial features, such as the cheeks, jawline, and chin, providing a more youthful and balanced appearance.
Hyaluronic Acid
Many dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that contributes to hydration and volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers attract and retain moisture, adding plumpness and smoothness to the treated areas.
Non-Surgical Procedure
Dermal filler treatments are non-surgical and typically involve minimal downtime. The injections are administered directly into the skin with a fine needle or cannula.
