Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers in Mumbai
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, define facial contours, and reduce lines and wrinkles. Often applied to areas like the cheeks, lips, and jawline, fillers offer a non-surgical way to enhance facial features naturally.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-based substances, often made from hyaluronic acid or similar materials, injected beneath the skin to add volume, smooth lines, and improve facial shape. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound in the body, making it safe and effective for subtle enhancements that complement your facial structure.
Key Points
- Minimally Invasive Filler treatments usually take 15-30 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no need for general anaesthesia.
- Immediate Effects Results are visible immediately after treatment, with final outcomes developing over a few days as any swelling reduces.
- Temporary Yet Long-Lasting Depending on the type and location, fillers usually last six to eighteen months.
