What Are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished for smoother skin, fuller cheeks, or more defined lips—dermal fillers might be exactly what you need. At Aesthetics by Sam Clinic, we specialize in safe, natural-looking enhancements using the latest in cosmetic injectable technology. But what exactly are dermal fillers, and how do they work?
Let’s break it down.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from substances that naturally occur in the body—most commonly hyaluronic acid. This compound attracts water and keeps your skin hydrated, plump, and youthful.
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and hyaluronic acid. This leads to volume loss, sagging skin, and deeper wrinkles. Dermal fillers help restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours, giving you a fresher and more rejuvenated appearance.
What Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
Dermal fillers are incredibly versatile. At Aesthetics by Sam Clinic, we use fillers to address:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines from corners of the mouth to chin)
- Cheek augmentation
- Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
- Lip enhancement
- Jawline contouring
- Chin shaping
- Temples and forehead rejuvenation
Whether you’re looking for subtle enhancement or a more defined contour, dermal fillers can be customized to match your goals.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
The process is quick and simple. After a consultation to understand your aesthetic goals, our trained practitioner will inject the filler into the targeted areas. The hyaluronic acid binds with water molecules in your skin, adding instant volume and hydration.
Most patients notice visible results immediately, with full effects showing within a few days. The entire procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes, and there’s little to no downtime—making it perfect for busy lifestyles.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and your individual metabolism. Typically, results last between 6 to 18 months.
Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve your look and even improve collagen stimulation over time.
Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Absolutely—when administered by a trained professional. At Aesthetics by Sam Clinic, we use only Health Canada-approved products and ensure every procedure is carried out in a sterile, comfortable setting.
Mild swelling or bruising can occur, but side effects are usually temporary and manageable.
