Dermal filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a substance, such as hyaluronic acid, into the skin to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and improve facial contours. The filler material is injected into the dermis, the second layer of skin, to restore a more youthful appearance to the face.

During the treatment, the area to be treated is cleaned and a local anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort. The filler material is then injected using a fine needle or cannula, and the provider will massage the area to ensure that the filler is distributed evenly.

The results of dermal filler treatment can be seen immediately, and they typically last for several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used and the location of the injection. After the treatment, patients may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, but these side effects are usually mild and temporary.
