Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable, gel-like substances used to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
As we age, our bodies lose collagen, a key protein that keeps skin plump and firm, leading to sagging, fine lines, and hollowness.
Fillers replace this lost volume, offering a non-surgical way to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Autologous Fat Injections
- What it is: Uses your own fat from another body area.
- How it works: Fat is harvested, purified, and injected. Results can last for years, though some reabsorption occurs.
- Best for: Large-volume restoration and permanent results.
Safety and Risks
Only a licensed healthcare provider should perform filler procedures.
Common Side Effects
Temporary side effects at the injection site may include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Pain

- Itching
Serious but Rare Risks
Serious complications are uncommon but may include:
- Vascular occlusion: When filler is injected into a blood vessel, potentially leading to tissue death or vision issues.
- Infection: Possible with poor hygiene.
- Nodules or granulomas: Bumps under the skin.
- Allergic reaction: A rare possibility.
What to Expect from Treatment
A consultation determines the best filler and discusses medical history. During the procedure, the area is cleaned, possibly numbed,
and the filler is injected. The process takes under an hour. After, mild swelling or bruising may occur, but recovery is minimal,
with many seeing immediate results.
