What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These fillers are made from various materials, such as hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the skin. By injecting these fillers into specific areas, they help to plump up the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and provide a more youthful and refreshed look.
