Dermal fillers work by adding volume to the targeted area, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, and restoring lost facial volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers attract water molecules, further hydrating the skin and providing a plumping effect.

There are several types of dermal fillers available, categorized based on their primary ingredients. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most common and versatile. Other types include calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fillers.

The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the treated area, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, while other types may last longer.

The treatment process for dermal fillers typically involves a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider to discuss your goals and determine the most suitable filler and treatment plan. During the procedure, the filler is injected into the targeted area using a fine needle or cannula. Topical anesthesia or a numbing agent may be used to minimize discomfort.
