How Dermal Fillers Work and What to Expect

Dermal fillers are an injectable option for people who want to soften the look of fine lines and add volume to the face. Depending on the product, fillers may be used in areas such as the chin, cheeks, and lips, and your provider can explain which products are approved for each area.

The Science Behind the Beauty

As we age, our skin loses its firmness and plumpness due to a decrease in collagen, a vital structural protein. This natural aging process results in more prominent lines and wrinkles. While a nutritious diet and regular exercise support overall skin health, dermal fillers can add volume in targeted areas, and results can be visible soon after treatment.

How Dermal Fillers Work

Administered through minimally invasive injections, dermal fillers work beneath the skin’s surface to mitigate the appearance of aging. These fillers are designed to soften the look of wrinkles and add fullness for a more refreshed appearance. While results are not permanent, they offer a temporary revitalization that can be maintained with regular treatments.

Varieties of Dermal Fillers

There’s a wide array of fillers available, each suited for specific needs and outcomes, including:

What to Expect During Treatment

Receiving dermal fillers is usually a quick process that typically takes less than an hour, and numbing options are available. Many patients have little to no downtime and return to daily activities soon after, although swelling or bruising is possible. Results can be visible soon after treatment.

Duration of Effects

How long filler effects last varies by product and by person, and some products are designed to last up to two years. Since the body gradually absorbs the injected materials, periodic treatments are necessary to maintain the desired outcomes.
