Filler

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most commonly made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA)—a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and retains moisture. Other types exist, but HA fillers are the most popular, safest, and reversible.

How Dermal Fillers Work

• Fillers add volume beneath the skin

• Lift sagging areas

• Smooth deep wrinkles and folds

• Enhance and define facial contours

• Improve skin hydration and elasticity

Unlike anti-wrinkle injections, fillers do not relax muscles—they add structure and volume.

Common Treatment Areas

• Lips (volume, shape, hydration)

• Cheeks (lift and contour)

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

• Marionette lines

• Jawline and chin

• Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)

• Nose reshaping (non-surgical rhinoplasty)

• Hands
