What Dermal Fillers Do

Dermal fillers add volume where it’s been lost, soften wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These gel-based injectables replenish or stimulate natural skin components that decrease with age, such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Whether you’re looking to restore fullness or enhance features you already love, fillers offer a flexible, customizable way to refresh your appearance.

How Dermal Fillers Work

How Dermal Fillers Work

Most fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that attracts water and provides soft, hydrated volume. Other options, like calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid, help reinforce structure and stimulate collagen for longer-lasting improvement.

Results appear immediately, with further refinement over the following days as swelling settles.

Frequently Asked Questions

faq

Yes. Especially when performed by trained medical professionals using high-quality products, dermal fillers are considered safe for most people. Like any treatment, they come with potential risks (such as bruising, swelling, or rare complications) which we will review with you during your consultation.

After treatment, you may notice mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the area. These are completely normal and usually settle within a few days. To support healing, avoid strenuous workouts, alcohol, and heat exposure (like saunas or hot yoga) for the first 24 hours. Keep the area clean, avoid pressing or massaging unless your injector instructs you to, and sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night. As the filler settles, results continue to refine.

No. Dermal fillers are not recommended during pregnancy. While there isn’t enough research to confirm safety, most medical guidelines advise avoiding cosmetic injectables until after pregnancy as a precaution.

No. There is limited research on how fillers interact with breastfeeding, so delaying treatment is considered the safest option. For proper guidance, book your consultation with us.
