What Are Dermal Fillers — and How Do They Really Work?

You’ve heard of them. Maybe your friends have them. But what exactly are dermal fillers, and how do they help you look more refreshed — without surgery?

Understanding the Basics

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance natural contours. Most modern fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in your skin that helps retain moisture and elasticity.

What Fillers Can Do

They’re not just for lips. Fillers can address:

  • Under-eye hollows and shadows
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Cheek volume loss
  • Jawline and chin definition
  • Vertical lip lines and more

When injected by a skilled professional, fillers provide subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation that enhances your own facial features — not change them.

How Long Do Fillers Last?

Depending on the type and location, results typically last:

  • 6 to 12 months for lips and under eyes
  • 12 to 18 months for cheeks and jawline

Your body will gradually break down the HA, so maintenance treatments are recommended if you want to keep your look consistent.

Is It Painful?

Most people describe the sensation as a small pinch. Many modern fillers include lidocaine to minimize discomfort, and numbing cream can be used for extra comfort.
