Dermal fillers are injectable substances designed to add volume to your face and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They help restore a youthful look by filling in areas that have lost volume and smoothing out skin creases.
The dermal filler procedure involves precisely injecting high-quality, biocompatible materials into specific areas of the skin to enhance your appearance. Our experienced Doctor uses a fine needle or cannula to target the filler exactly where it’s needed.
The process is quick, usually taking less than an hour, and can be done right here in our clinic. For your comfort, a local numbing agent is applied before we begin.
After treatment, you might experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising, but these effects typically subside within a few days. You’ll see immediate improvements, with the best results developing as the filler naturally integrates with your skin.

The longevity of filler results depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and the individual’s metabolism. Typically, results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Certain fillers, like those used for lips, may last slightly less due to increased movement in the area.
The practitioner will cleanse the treatment area, apply a numbing agent, and then carefully inject the filler using a fine needle or cannula. The entire process typically takes less than an hour, depending on the areas being treated.
Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These usually subside within a few days. Serious complications are rare but can include infection, lumps, or, in extremely rare cases, vascular issues if the filler is accidentally injected into a blood vessel.
Yes, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. If you’re not happy with the results, this enzyme can break down the filler quickly and safely.
Results are usually noticeable immediately after the treatment, though some areas may appear swollen at first. The final, settled results become more apparent over the next few days as any swelling reduces and the filler integrates with the skin.
