Dermal fillers are injectable gels primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally found in the skin. Their role is to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and deeply hydrate the skin.
Over time, the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to a loss of volume, hollows, and the appearance of wrinkles. Filler injections help restore volume, harmonize facial features, and soften the signs of aging, all while maintaining a natural appearance.
Hyaluronic acid is a hygroscopic molecule, which means it attracts and retains water, thereby providing an immediate plumping effect. In addition to adding volume, some dermal fillers stimulate collagen production, promoting a gradual improvement in skin quality.
Over time, the skin loses density, leading to the formation of static wrinkles and more pronounced hollows. Dermal fillers can correct these areas while maintaining a natural appearance.
Volume loss is one of the main signs of aging. It causes the facial features to sag and gives the face a tired appearance. Injections help restore support to the tissues and restore the face’s natural proportions.
Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains water, providing intense hydration and improving skin texture. This treatment is ideal for dehydrated, dull skin or skin with fine lines.

The effects are visible immediately after treatment, with optimal results appearing after two weeks. Depending on the treated area and the type of agent used, the results last an average of 6 to 18 months. Touch-ups can be performed to prolong the effects and adjust the treatment based on changes in the face.
Filler injections are generally well tolerated. Some products contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort. An anesthetic cream may also be applied before treatment for added comfort.
