Dermal fillers are substances (usually hyaluronic acid) injected beneath the skin to restore volume and youthfulness.
Dermal fillers can plump thin lips, soften facial creases, and improve the appearance of recessed scars. They enhance facial contours, revitalizing the overall look around your smile.
During an appointment, a dentist or trained professional will gently inject the chosen filler into targeted areas. The appointment itself is often quick, taking about 30 minutes to an hour, though the length of an appointment will depend on the areas being injected.
Some tenderness or swelling might occur but typically subsides swiftly. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the filler, so periodic touch-ups are recommended for sustained results.
