Dermal fillers have become one of the most popular treatments in recent years. As our skin ages, the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases. Dermal fillers are a procedure applied to the face and skin to treat wrinkles and lines caused by the loss of hyaluronic acid and collagen. Dermal filler treatments involve injecting the filler substance under the skin using a needle or cannula. It is extremely important that dermal filler treatments are performed by a qualified physician.

How are filler treatments performed?

Dermal fillers are both easier and quicker procedures compared to major cosmetic surgeries. Depending on the area being treated, the procedure takes an average of 10-15 minutes. Before the procedure, anesthetic creams are used to numb the skin. After the skin is numbed, the filler is injected under the skin using a needle or cannula. The filler begins to show its full effect in approximately 10 days. There is no recovery period after the filler procedure; you can resume your social life the same day.

How long do the effects of filler treatments last?

The effects of fillers last between 6 and 18 months. The longevity of the fillers varies depending on the substance used, the application area, the quality of the substance, and individual characteristics.
