How Do Dermal Fillers Restore Facial Volume?
Dermal Fillers are gel-like substances, most commonly composed of hyaluronic acid, that are precisely injected beneath the skin's surface. As the face naturally loses subcutaneous fat and collagen over time, fillers mechanically restore this lost volume, physically plumping the skin to smooth out wrinkles and creases like nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines.
Beyond Wrinkle reduction, they are strategically used to enhance and contour features, such as restoring youthful fullness to the cheeks and lips, or diminishing the appearance of under-eye hollows. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers also work by attracting and retaining water, further hydrating and volumizing the treated area from the inside out. The results are visible almost immediately, but because the body gradually and naturally absorbs the material over time, the effects are temporary, typically lasting from several months to over a year, depending on the product's composition and the specific injection site.
