Restore volume, smooth wrinkles,
enhance contours

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, these fillers are injected into specific areas of the face to treat signs of aging and improve facial symmetry. At OMA, our expert team uses advanced techniques and ultrasound guidance to ensure precise, natural-looking results that blend with your features.

Dermal fillers treat:

  • Volume loss in the lips, cheeks, and temples
  • Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose
  • Sagging skin and loss of elasticity
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Facial asymmetry and contour irregularities
  • Hollow or sunken areas under the eyes
  • Chin enhancement and jawline definition

How do dermal fillers work?

Dermal fillers work by injecting a gel-like substance, typically composed of hyaluronic acid, beneath the skin’s surface. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that attracts and retains moisture, providing volume and hydration to the skin. When injected, it binds with water molecules, filling in wrinkles and hollow areas. This process restores lost volume and enhances skin elasticity and firmness on the lips, cheeks, chin, nasolabial folds, and temples.

Benefits of dermal fillers:

  • Immediate results with minimal downtime
  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure
  • Natural-looking enhancements to facial features
  • Long-lasting effects, typically ranging from 6 months to 2 years
  • Stimulates collagen production for improved skin texture and elasticity
  • Customizable treatments to target specific areas and concerns
  • Safe and effective with a well-established track record
  • Quick and convenient, often completed within an hour
  • Reversible effects in case adjustments are needed

Dermal fillers FAQs

What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can be used to treat various areas of the face, including:

  • Lips: To add volume and define shape
  • Cheeks: To restore volume and lift
  • Chin: To enhance contour and definition
  • Nasolabial folds: To smooth out deep lines
  • Temples: To fill hollow areas
  • Under-eye hollows: To reduce the appearance of dark circles and tiredness
  • Jawline: To create a more defined jawline

What can I expect during the treatment?

During a dermal filler treatment, the area to be treated is first cleaned and numbed with a topical anesthetic. Then, the filler is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. We administer ultrasound-guided injections to ensure optimal safety and natural-looking results. The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated.

What are the side effects of dermal fillers?

Common side effects of dermal fillers include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are mild and resolve within a few days.

Is there any downtime after receiving dermal fillers?

Dermal filler treatments require minimal downtime. Some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, which usually subsides within a few days. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

When will I see the results?

Results from fillers are usually visible immediately. However, the final outcome will be more apparent once any swelling or bruising has subsided, typically within a week.

How long do dermal fillers last?

The longevity of fillers depends on the type of filler used and the area treated. Generally, results can last 6 months to 2 years. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain the desired look.

How often should I get dermal fillers?

The frequency of dermal filler treatments depends on the individual and the specific filler used. Generally, touch-ups are recommended every 6 to 12 months to maintain optimal results.

Can the results of dermal fillers be reversed?

Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed if necessary. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler and restore the treated area to its original state.
