Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore or enhance facial volume, soften certain lines and folds, and improve facial contours. Most commonly, fillers use materials such as hyaluronic acid, which can help create a smoother, fuller appearance.

Safety has not been established for dermal fillers during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Discuss your circumstances with your dermatologist before considering treatment.
During your consultation, inform your dermatologist about medications, supplements, previous fillers, cosmetic procedures, allergies and relevant medical conditions. This helps your doctor plan the treatment appropriately.
A consultation is the best way to determine this. Your dermatologist will assess your facial anatomy, skin, concerns and expectations before recommending whether fillers are appropriate and which approach may suit you.
