What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid–based injectable treatments designed to restore volume, refine contours, and smooth facial creases. Hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, attracts and retains moisture, creating a hydrated, lifted, and youthful appearance. With little to no downtime, fillers offer a gentle yet transformative way to enhance your features while maintaining natural expression and harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dermal fillers are FDA-approved dermal filler products made from gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most injectable fillers are hyaluronic acid fillers, which attract moisture to plump the skin, soften fine lines, and create a more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers can smooth facial wrinkles, soften smile lines, minimize marionette lines, fill nasolabial folds, and restore lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, and tear troughs. They can also improve acne scars, deeper wrinkles, and other skin folds, helping reshape facial contours for a more balanced look.
There are several types of dermal fillers used in aesthetic medicine, including hyaluronic acid filler (HA fillers), calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, and poly-L-lactic acid fillers. Injectable dermal fillers vary depending on treatment goals, facial anatomy, and the type of filler best suited to restore volume or smooth deep wrinkles.
Yes. Most facial fillers are FDA-approved and considered safe when injected by trained medical professionals. Your injector will review your medical history and discuss potential risks such as swelling, bruising, allergic reaction, or accidental injection into a blood vessel. Serious complications are rare.
Results from hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6–18 months, depending on the area treated, the product used, and your metabolism. Some soft tissue fillers, such as poly-L-lactic acid, stimulate collagen production and may last even longer by helping the body produce collagen over time.
The dermal filler procedure is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. After assessing your facial features and goals, your injector will cleanse the skin, mark the injection site, and inject dermal fillers into the soft tissue using a fine needle or cannula.
After filler treatments, avoid massaging the treated area, strenuous exercise, and excessive heat for 24–48 hours. Follow dermal filler do’s and don’ts, including not applying pressure on the injection site. Your provider may also recommend avoiding alcohol and certain medications to reduce swelling or bruising.
Dermal fillers use smooth gel to enhance facial contours and smooth fine lines, while fat grafting or fat injections use your own fat to restore facial volume. Fillers work instantly and offer temporary improvement, whereas fat grafting is a surgical medical procedure with longer recovery.
Yes. Injectable fillers can restore lost volume, lift sagging skin, and smooth deep wrinkles, especially around smile lines, crow’s feet, and vertical lines. In some cases, fillers are combined with other treatments for more dramatic improvement in facial lines and facial contours.
Good candidates are healthy adults experiencing volume loss, facial lines, or wrinkles who want a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. Patients with bleeding disorders should discuss risks with their provider. During consultation, your injector will evaluate your facial anatomy, medical history, and desired results before recommending a type of filler.
