Dermal Fillers
​Rejuvenate your appearance and restore youthful volume
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. These fillers are used to add volume, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, lips, jawline, nasolabial folds, and under the eyes.

Most Common Areas Treated with Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are versatile and effective across multiple facial areas. Some of the most commonly treated areas include:
-
Cheeks: To restore volume lost due to ageing and create a lifted appearance.
-
Lips: To enhance shape, definition, and fullness, or to correct asymmetry.
-
Nasolabial folds (smile lines): To smooth the deep lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
-
Marionette lines: To lift the downward lines extending from the mouth corners, often associated with ageing.
-
Jawline: To define the jawline and reduce the appearance of jowls.
-
Chin: To improve chin projection and balance facial proportions.
-
Tear troughs (under-eye hollows): To reduce the appearance of dark circles and tired eyes.
-
Temples: To restore volume loss that can create a hollow or sunken look.

Each treatment is tailored to suit the patient’s unique facial structure, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance rather than alter your appearance.
Dermal Fillers vs. Botox
While both dermal fillers and Botox are popular aesthetic treatments, they work differently. Botox (anti-wrinkle injections) relaxes muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (like frown lines and crow's feet), while dermal fillers add volume to smooth static wrinkles and contour the face. Depending on your concerns, a combination of both may be recommended for optimal results.
