Whether you’re looking to plump lips, soften facial lines, or restore volume to cheeks, dermal fillers offer a natural and effective solution for a youthful, refreshed look.
Restore volume and smooth wrinkles
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume beneath the skin’s surface, helping to fill in wrinkles, folds, and sunken areas. As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin slows, leading to volume loss and the formation of lines. Fillers can replenish that lost volume, restoring youthful contours and smoothness to the face. The effects are visible right away and can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
Common areas dermal fillers treat
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Thin or uneven lips
- Hollow cheeks or temples
- Tear troughs (under-eye hollows)
- Chin wrinkles
- Jawline contouring
How dermal fillers work
Dermal fillers are made from biocompatible substances like hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that helps retain moisture and volume. When injected into targeted areas, the fillers lift and plump the skin, smooth out wrinkles, and add fullness to areas where volume has been lost. The procedure is quick, and the effects are visible almost immediately, giving the face a smoother and more youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery.

What happens during a dermal filler session
Your dermal filler treatment begins with a consultation where your aesthetic goals and concerns are discussed with our experienced professionals. A tailored treatment plan will be created based on your needs. The actual procedure involves the injection of fillers into specific areas of the face using a fine needle. The procedure generally lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment areas. For your comfort, a topical numbing cream may be applied before the injections.
Recovery and aftercare
After receiving dermal fillers, you may experience some minor side effects, such as swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are generally mild and subside within a few days. Since the procedure is non-invasive, there’s no need for extensive downtime, and most patients can return to their regular activities immediately. However, it’s recommended to avoid intense exercise, direct sunlight, and alcohol for 24-48 hours after treatment.
Immediate results and longevity
One of the biggest advantages of dermal fillers is the immediate improvement in facial volume and wrinkle reduction. You’ll notice a difference right after the treatment, with the full results becoming more apparent as any minor swelling subsides. Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, the results can last anywhere from six months to over a year. Periodic maintenance treatments can help extend these results, keeping your appearance youthful and vibrant.
