How It Works?
Dermal fillers work by injecting a soft, gel-like substance into the skin to add volume and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The substance used in dermal fillers is usually hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.
During the procedure, the practitioner will use a fine needle or cannula to carefully inject the filler into specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, lips, or lower face. The practitioner will use their expertise to carefully place the filler in the right areas, adding volume and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The results of dermal filler treatment are immediate and can last for several months, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s lifestyle and skincare routine. Over time, the hyaluronic acid in the filler will gradually be absorbed by the body, and the skin will return to its original appearance.

Fillers can also be used for non-surgical nose reshaping and earlobe rejuvenation.
