Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth lines and enhance facial contours. They are commonly made of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin but can also include a short acting local anaesthetic agent called lidocaine meaning the injections are associated with minimal discomfort. Dermal fillers are frequently employed as a minimally invasive non surgical method of performing wrinkle reduction, lip enhancement, cheek augmentation, jawline and chin contouring, nose reshaping and addressing under-eye hollowing.
Dermal filler injections are delivered using a fine needle or blunt cannula into specific areas tailored to meet the individual needs and desired outcomes of a patient. Visible improvements can be noticed immediately after treatment and these can last for 12-18 months. Dermal filler treatments are not associated with surgical incisions or an extensive recovery time and are often combined with other treatments such as Botox or surgery for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
