Dermal filler injection
Overview
Dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic treatment used to reduce the signs of aging and restore volume to the face. Dermal fillers are made from a variety of materials, including hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid. They are injected into specific areas of the face to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, add volume to the cheeks and lips, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Feature
Dermal fillers are a popular alternative to surgical procedures, such as facelifts, as they are less invasive and can achieve similar results. The effects of dermal fillers typically last several months to a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area of the face being treated.
Procedure
The procedure involves injecting the filler directly into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. The treatment is generally quick, with minimal downtime and minimal discomfort.
