DERMAL FILLERS— THE COMPLETE GUIDE | JUVÉDERM, RESTYLANE®, REVANESSE®
Dermal fillers, also known as hyaluronic acid fillers or injectable fillers, are a type of cosmetic treatment used to enhance and restore volume to the face, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and add contour to various facial features. They are non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures that provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Dermal fillers consist of various materials that are injected beneath the skin's surface to achieve specific cosmetic goals.
Dermal fillers are commonly used to add volume to the lips, cheeks, and under the eyes. They can also fill in nasolabial folds(smile lines), marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin), and other facial wrinkles.
Dermal fillers provide immediate results, and the effects can last from several months to a couple of years, depending on the type of filler used.
Dermal fillers are generally considered safe when administered by qualified healthcare providers. They are minimally invasive, with little to no downtime.
Treatments with dermal fillers can be customized to meet the individual's specific cosmetic goals and achieve a natural-looking enhancement.
