A Dermal Filler is an injectable gel containing hyaluronic acid that restores youthful volume to cheeks, cheekbones, and chin that have become thin due to weight loss or age-related facial fat loss. The results are immediate, soft, and natural looking.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to our skin. Hyaluronic acid is used for aesthetic treatments, and has been used by doctors for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as eye surgery.
Dermal Filler is intended for use by adults. It is the ideal solution for re-modeling facial volume and correcting a reseeding chin. Please speak to your doctor to know more about fillers.
The average effect of dermal filler lasts up to 18 months. It may sometimes be shorter or longer depending on:
Your age
Your physiology
Your lifestyle (smoking and exposure to sun or UV rays may shorten the effect)
The amount injected and the doctor’s techniques.
Results with dermal filler are immediate and instant. Your doctor can show you the pre treatment and post treatment results soon after injecting for you to appreciate the results. However, best results can be seen in 2-3 days.
