What Are Facial Fillers?
Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable substances used to enhance facial contours, restore volume, and smooth out wrinkles or fine lines. They are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that offers immediate results with minimal downtime.
How Facial Fillers Work
Facial fillers are injected beneath the skin to:
- Restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks and temples.
- Smooth out wrinkles and fine lines (e.g., nasolabial folds, marionette lines).
- Enhance features such as lips, jawline, or chin.
- Improve skin texture and hydration.
