1. What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels—often composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), poly‑L‑lactic acid (PLLA), or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)—used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, reshape facial features, and rejuvenate aging skin. They offer immediate aesthetic enhancement with minimal downtime.

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Naturally occurring moisture-binding in the skin; widely used brands include Juvéderm, Restylane, and Belotero.
