Q: What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial features such as lips, cheeks, chin, and under-eyes.

Non-Surgical Facial Volume Restoration, Wrinkle Reduction & Contouring

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They use FDA-approved gel-like substances such as hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. Fillers provide natural-looking results when performed by trained clinicians and require proper assessment, technique, and aftercare for safe outcomes.

At GLOJAS Specialist Clinic, all dermal fillers procedures are performed by MOH-registered, LCP-certified aesthetic doctors using clinically proven products and advanced techniques, ensuring safe, precise, and consistently high-quality results aligned with strict medical and aesthetic standards.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like materials placed beneath the skin to restore lost volume, soften lines, and improve facial contouring. Most modern fillers use hyaluronic acid, a natural molecule that retains moisture and provides structure to the skin.

Other formulations include calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and PMMA, each offering different longevity and lifting capabilities. When injected by trained professionals, fillers provide predictable, natural rejuvenation without surgery.

Symptoms or Concerns Dermal Fillers Address

Dermal fillers are used to improve age-related volume loss, deepened nasolabial folds, marionette lines, undereye hollowing, thinning lips, flattened cheeks, and poorly defined jawlines. They also help correct acne scars, asymmetry, and contour irregularities. Patients often seek fillers to restore youthful fullness, enhance facial proportion, or refresh tired-appearing features.

Causes of Volume Loss and Facial Aging

Volume loss occurs as collagen, elastin, fat, and bone gradually diminish with age. Environmental exposure, genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors accelerate this process. The reduction of supportive structures leads to hollowing, sagging, and wrinkle formation. Dermal fillers temporarily replace this lost volume and stimulate collagen depending on the product type.

How Dermal Fillers Work

Hyaluronic acid fillers attract water to plump tissues and integrate naturally with surrounding skin. Calcium hydroxylapatite stimulates collagen and provides structural lift. Poly-L-lactic acid triggers gradual collagen production for long-term volumization.

PMMA offers permanent support through microspheres embedded in collagen-stimulating gel. Product selection depends on treatment goals, facial anatomy, and desired longevity.

Diagnosis and Patient Assessment

A comprehensive consultation evaluates medical history, medications, allergies, and aesthetic objectives. The clinician examines facial symmetry, bone structure, soft-tissue thickness, and dynamic movement. Assessment may include reviewing old photos to identify changes from baseline.

The plan prioritizes safety, proportionality, and natural enhancement. Patients with active infections, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or certain autoimmune conditions are not ideal candidates.

Treatment Procedure

The procedure begins with cleansing and antiseptic preparation. Topical or local anesthesia is applied depending on the area. The filler is injected using fine needles or cannulas to reduce trauma and improve precision.

The clinician shapes and distributes the product to achieve balanced contouring. Treatment typically takes 15 to 45 minutes. Results appear immediately for hyaluronic acid fillers and gradually for collagen-stimulating products.

Recovery and Aftercare

Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur for 24 to 72 hours. Applying cool compresses and avoiding strenuous exercise, heat exposure, alcohol, and makeup for the first day helps reduce irritation.

Patients should avoid pressing or massaging the area unless instructed. Final results stabilize within one to two weeks as the product settles.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Restore lost facial volume for a youthful appearance
Smooth out wrinkles, folds, and fine lines
Enhance lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline
Correct under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
Hydrate and plump the skin from within
Non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime

Risks and Possible Complications

Common mild reactions include swelling, bruising, and temporary asymmetry. More serious complications, though rare, include infection, allergic response, nodules, and vascular occlusion. Vascular occlusion occurs when filler enters or compresses a blood vessel, leading to compromised blood flow and tissue risk. Early recognition of symptoms such as sudden pain, blanching, or mottled skin requires urgent medical care.

Choosing an experienced injector and appropriate technique significantly reduces risks. At GLOJAS Specialist Clinic, we use FDA-approved treatments.

Longevity and Maintenance

Hyaluronic acid fillers last six to eighteen months depending on the formulation and location. Thicker products in the cheeks and jawline typically last longer than softer fillers used for lips or fine lines.

Calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid last one to two years, while PMMA is long-term. Touch-up sessions help maintain consistent results and prevent overcorrection.

Prevention and Safety Considerations

Preventing complications begins with careful injector selection. Treatment should be performed by licensed medical professionals trained in facial anatomy and complication management. Patients should disclose all medications, especially blood thinners and supplements that increase bruising risk.

Avoiding alcohol, NSAIDs, and vigorous exercise for 24 hours before treatment can improve outcomes. Proper sterilization, conservative dosing, and staged treatments enhance safety and aesthetic precision.

When to See a Doctor

Seek prompt medical evaluation if you experience severe pain, persistent discoloration, blurred vision, spreading redness, fever, or nodules that worsen over time. These symptoms may indicate infection or vascular compromise. Regular follow-ups help monitor treatment response and ensure long-term satisfaction.
