**Dermal fillers** are a fantastic treatment option that can change the way you see yourself. Fillers can add volume, restore the shape of your chin, volumize your lips, and so much more. Here’s a guide to help you understand the ins and outs of dermal fillers. 

## What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectables that can fill or volumize certain areas of your face. They’re a gel-like substance containing Hyaluronic Acid. It’s injected under the top layers of your skin to soften creases, smooth away wrinkles, and add volume.

One of the most common signs of aging is volume loss. Over time you may notice lines around the nose and mouth, or cheeks that seem a little hollow. Fillers can replace this lost volume, fill wrinkles, and restore a more youthful appearance. Fillers can also smooth out that furrow between your brow, add volume to a hollow cheek, or plump your lips. And they’re not just cosmetic. Dermal fillers also help hydrate the skin and improve your overall skin health. 

## What Can Dermal Fillers Do?
Fillers are an amazing treatment option that can tackle a number of concerns. Dermal fillers can:
- Add volume around the nose and mouth to smooth out creases and lines such as marionette lines and smile lines
- Restore volume in the cheeks to treat sunken cheeks
- Enhance volume in the temples to treat sunken or hollow temples
- Plump the chin to smooth away chin creases and give you a more pronounced chin and jawline
- Enhance the lips
- Smooth out lines and wrinkles on the forehead or between the eyebrows

## What to Expect During Treatment
Your first step is always a consultation with a skilled healthcare provider. Our nurses are highly trained professionals who have extensive experience with aesthetic treatments. During a consultation, we’ll review your goals and help you pick the best treatment option to get you there. We will also discuss your medical history, allergies, and any other concerns that could impact the results of your treatment. 

During your appointment, fillers are injected into the target areas. This only takes a few seconds, and you’ll experience some mild discomfort. You’ll see results immediately after the injection. However, you may also notice some side effects such as swelling or bruising. These should subside within a day or two, and you’ll see the end result. 

## How Long Do Results Last?
On average, dermal fillers last one to two years, depending on the treatment area, the type of filler you used, and how many units were injected. Age and lifestyle factors can also impact the length of results. Over time, the hyaluronic acid in your fillers is broken down and reabsorbed into your body. Fillers in the lip tend to break down faster, with results lasting from 6 to 18 months. To maintain your results, book your next filler appointment and repeat the treatment every one to two years.
