What Is a Filler Treatment?
Dermal filler is the injection of hyaluronic acid–based products under the skin to restore lost volume and to reshape. This natural molecule helps the skin retain moisture; it serves both to add volume and to provide structure.
Application areas
- Softening fine lines
- Cheekbone and jawline contouring
- Reducing under-eye hollowing
- Lip shaping and balancing facial proportions
Procedure and recovery
It is performed in 15–30 minutes, with optional topical cream. Results are visible immediately and fully settle within 1–2 weeks. Redness/swelling subsides within 24–72 hours; longevity is 6–18 months.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with a special enzyme when needed; this is an important safety advantage.
For the first 24 hours, avoid makeup and pressure on the area, blood thinners and intense exercise.
