What is dermal filler treatment?
Dermal fillers help restore volume to the face. They are commonly used to address fat deficiency, or areas where fat pads have migrated due to ageing. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and the underlying fat pads may shift or diminish, leading to a hollowed or sagging appearance. Dermal fillers can restore that volume and, in doing so, create a more youthful facial contour.
