What is Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible substances that add volume, smooth lines and enhance facial contours.
They work by plumping the skin, restoring lost volume and supporting the structures beneath the skin.
Fillers can be used on multiple areas of the face to achieve natural-looking results and improve balance and harmony.
