What Are Dermal Fillers?
Most commonly used dermal fillers are made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body, particularly in the skin, where it helps bind water and contributes to hydration and tissue volume. Its amount declines with age.
Cross-linking gives hyaluronic acid greater stability, allowing it to remain in the tissues longer than naturally occurring HA. Different filler formulations have different properties, which is why the choice of product depends on the treatment area, individual anatomy and the intended objective.
When carefully selected and placed, hyaluronic acid fillers can help restore lost volume, support facial contours and refine proportions. Filler is not permanent and is gradually broken down by the body over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much filler will I need?
It depends on the area being treated, your facial anatomy, the degree of volume loss, and the desired result. Treatment may range from 1 mL to several milliliters per session. As a general approach, we prefer to use the minimum amount needed to achieve the intended correction, reassess the result, and add more filler in a following session if appropriate.
Will filler make my face look unnatural?
The aim of filler treatment is to correct volume loss or support facial contours, not to overfill the face. Both the quantity injected and the type of filler selected influence the final result. Discuss this clearly with your doctor before treatment so the treatment plan can be adapted accordingly.
How long does filler last?
The duration depends on the type of filler, treatment area and individual factors. Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary and are gradually broken down by the body over time.
Can dermal filler be dissolved?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can usually be dissolved with hyaluronidase when clinically indicated. This does not apply to every type of dermal filler.
Is filler suitable for dark circles?
Not all dark circles need filler. Filler may help when under-eye hollowing contributes to shadowing, but pigmentation, visible blood vessels and skin quality can also contribute to dark circles and may require a different approach.
Can I have filler if I have had filler before?
Yes, in many cases, but previous filler should be considered before adding more. Tell your doctor where it was injected, approximately when it was performed and which product was used, if known.
What are the possible side effects?
Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising can occur after filler injections. Less common complications include infection, nodules and vascular complications. The relevant risks should be discussed before treatment.
When should I seek urgent medical attention?
Seek urgent medical assessment if you develop severe or unusual pain, concerning changes in skin colour, visual symptoms, or other rapidly developing unusual symptoms during or after filler treatment.
