As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume, resulting in sagging and wrinkles. Dermal fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, help restore lost volume by replenishing the natural substances present in our skin. The filler is injected into targeted areas to plump and lift, giving a more youthful appearance. By restoring facial volume, dermal fillers can effectively reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and hollow areas.

Experienced clinicians will often adopt a “less is more” approach, opting for a gradual enhancement with subtle results.
