What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are a game-changing innovation in cosmetic medicine. These injectables consist of gel-like substances injected beneath the skin. Their primary function is to restore lost volume, soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles, enhance facial contours, improve the look of scars, or enhance lip volume.

How do dermal fillers work?

The magic of dermal fillers lies in their ability to replenish the volume under the skin. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for our skin's elasticity and firmness, starts to decrease. Dermal fillers replenish and renew. When injected into specific areas, they plump the skin, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines or adding volume to areas such as the cheeks and lips. The result is a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
