Dermal fillers are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts water and supports tissue hydration and elasticity. Commonly used filler brands include Juvederm, Restylane, Teosyal, and others, which differ in density, longevity, and suitability depending on the treatment area and clinical objective.

Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are commonly used to restore volume, improve contour, and support skin quality.
In the face, fillers address areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, chin, undereyes, temples, and folds around the mouth to correct volume loss and enhance structural balance. In the neck, they help improve fine lines, skin texture, and surface irregularities, while in the hands, fillers replenish lost volume, reduce the appearance of veins and tendons, and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance. Treatment areas are selected based on individual anatomy, skin condition, and clinical goals.
