Dermal Fillers (0.5ml, 1ml, 2ml)
Dermal fillers are injected using a fine needle or cannula into the targeted areas, such as the cheeks, lips, or jawline, to restore volume and enhance facial contours. The procedure can be done in 15–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the amount of filler used. Most patients experience mild discomfort, which is usually managed with a topical anesthetic or a filler that contains lidocaine. Post-treatment, mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days. The amount of filler used varies by treatment area, with 0.5ml being suitable for subtle enhancements, 1ml for moderate changes, and 2ml for more pronounced results. The effects of dermal fillers typically last between 6 months to 18 months, depending on the type of filler and area treated.
