Dermal fillers are entirely safe as long as you are proceeding with a qualified healthcare professional. Dermal fillers can be made from various substances, including hyaluronic acid, collagen, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-l-lactic acid. Hyaluronic acid fillers are among the most popular due to their natural compatibility with the body, therefore the healing time is shorter when injected with hyaluronic acid fillers. This is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure.

Common areas of injection of dermal fillers consist of enlarging the lips, chin and cheekbones or enhance the jawline etc. The injector can also smooth out the nasolabial folds, marionette lines and fill under-eye hollows.

Dermal filler treatments are not permanent, and maintenance sessions are often required to sustain desired results. The frequency of touch-ups depends on factors such as the type of filler used and individual response to the treatment. Results can last within a wide range such as 6 months to 2+ years.
