Introduction to Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a cornerstone in aesthetic medicine, providing a non-surgical solution for enhancing facial contours, reducing signs of aging, and improving skin hydration. These treatments are tailored to meet the individual’s aesthetic goals, offering immediate results with minimal downtime.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume and fullness to the face. There are various types of fillers, but the most common are based on Hyaluronic Acid and Biostimulants. These fillers not only help in reducing wrinkles but also enhance facial contours and revitalize the skin.
A natural substance found in the skin, known for its capacity to attract and hold vast amounts of moisture. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to plump up the skin, smooth out wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial features like lips and cheeks.
Hylenex is an FDA-approved hyaluronidase injection that is used to dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers. It can be utilized when adjustments are needed or if a patient wishes to reverse the effects of filler treatments quickly.
