Dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic products used to restore volume, contour, and rejuvenate the skin by injecting a gel-like substance beneath the surface. Typically composed of materials like hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers are designed to address a variety of concerns, including sunken cheeks, tear trough hollowing, chin projection and a variety of other cases. These treatments work by replenishing lost volume, promoting collagen production, and improving the skin's overall texture and appearance.
