What is Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel injections, most commonly made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. They can restore volume in the cheeks, temples and under-eye hollows, define the jawline and chin, and soften folds such as the nasolabial lines. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.
