Dermal fillers, commonly made of substances like hyaluronic acid, restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours when injected into targeted areas. Hyaluronic acid fillers attract moisture, plumping the skin and diminishing wrinkles in areas like smile lines and hollowed cheeks. Administered by trained professionals using fine needles or cannulas, these fillers often contain lidocaine for comfort, providing immediate results lasting from months to over a year, making them a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
No, dermal fillers are not permanent. We offer both short and long-lasting fillers with durations ranging from 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers, for example, are natural and gradually broken down by the enzyme hyaluronidase, which is naturally present in the body.
Yes, dermal filler treatments are reversible. In the rare event that a patient is dissatisfied with the results, the filler can be dissolved using injections of hyaluronidase enzyme. However, such occurrences are not recommended and thankfully infrequent, and we seldom need to perform this reversal procedure.
