Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances used to restore lost volume, smooth lines, enhance facial contours, and rejuvenate the skin. Most modern fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA) – a naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts and retains moisture.
Other types include calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), each designed for specific indications and depths.
KEY BENEFITS OF Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers provide a wide range of aesthetic benefits, making them one of the most versatile non-surgical treatments in aesthetic medicine. They are highly effective in restoring lost facial volume, particularly in the cheeks, temples, and mid-face, helping to replace age-related hollowness and re-establish youthful contours and balance. Fillers also work to soften wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and perioral lines, leaving the skin smoother and more refreshed.
For facial contouring and enhancement, fillers can be precisely placed to sculpt the cheeks, project and balance the chin, sharpen and define the jawline, or even correct minor irregularities in the nose with a non-surgical rhinoplasty. They are also used to correct temple hollowing, creating a softer and lifted appearance. Lip augmentation is another popular indication, enhancing hydration, volume, and definition, refining the borders, and accentuating the Cupid’s bow. Fillers are equally effective in addressing the tear troughs, reducing hollowness and dark shadows under the eyes for a brighter, rejuvenated look.
Beyond structural improvements, dermal fillers act as skin boosters, enhancing hydration, elasticity, and glow in areas such as the face, neck, décolleté, and hands. They also offer targeted rejuvenation of the hands, restoring volume and minimizing vein visibility for a more youthful appearance. Advanced uses include buttocks and hip dip enhancement through biostimulatory fillers like PLLA or CaHA, offering non-surgical contouring options. Even the neckline can be treated, softening horizontal “tech neck” lines.
In addition to cosmetic applications, dermal fillers also provide significant medical benefits. They can be used for acne scar correction, smoothing the texture of atrophic scars, or for correcting facial asymmetry, whether congenital or acquired. They are effective in treating HIV-associated lipoatrophy, restoring fullness lost due to medication side effects, and are also valuable in post-trauma or post-surgical reconstruction, where they help replace lost volume and restore natural facial contours.

FAQ's
How often do I need dermal filler sessions?
Dermal filler sessions are typically spaced every 4–6 months, although the exact interval depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and the patient’s goals. The number of syringes required also varies according to individual facial anatomy and the desired outcome.
Is there any downtime after dermal filler treatment?
Downtime is usually minimal. Most patients can return to daily activities right away, but mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site may occur and usually resolves within a few days.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes, dermal fillers are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers are especially popular because they can be dissolved using hyaluronidase if adjustments are needed.
What side effects should I expect?
The most common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, or temporary asymmetry at the injection site. These are temporary and usually subside within a few days.
What are the possible complications?
Although rare, complications can occur. These may include vascular occlusion (restricted blood flow), infection, nodule formation, or the Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration if filler is injected too superficially). Choosing an experienced practitioner greatly minimizes these risks.
