Dermal Filler FAQ

What is dermal filler?

Dermal filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a substance such as hyaluronic acid or collagen into the skin to fill in wrinkles, lines, and other signs of aging.

What are the side effects of dermal filler treatments?

Common side effects of dermal filler treatments include bruising, swelling, redness, and mild pain at the injection site.
