When we age, our skin tends to lose its elasticity due to less collagen and elastin production. The presence of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the dermal layer plummets, bringing implications to the skin. The skin loses its moisture, elasticity, firmness thus fine lines and wrinkles appear.
This phenomenon is not only associated with aging; poor lifestyle, prolonged sun exposure and smoking can also exacerbate depletion of HA. But here arises the concern: Is there any way to reverse or delay the aging signs and replenish the scarce hyaluronic acid in the skin? The answer is yes. Fortunately, with dermal fillers in Dubai, you can help contour your face, alleviate wrinkles and get back the youthful, radiant glow.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers, also known as filler injections, are primarily made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in skin, joints and eyes. These injections are used for restoring the lost volume in areas such as cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and crows feet etc. When these soft tissue, gel-like substances are injected properly, they work from within to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, restore volume, and add fullness – as in the case of lip contour augmentation.
Why Are Dermal Fillers Done?
Dermal filler injections aim to:
- Plump thin lips
- Add volume to cheeks
- Improve the appearance of shallow contours
- Contour the chin
- Soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhance facial proportions
- Diminish the shadow of the lower eyelids
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the lower neck and the chest area
- Improve the appearance of scars
Filler injections can also be employed in other aesthetic procedures such as liquid rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, and hand rejuvenation.

If you are considering dermal filler treatment, you should consult with a certified aesthetician. During the consultation, ask relevant questions about the procedure and communicate your expectations. The general procedure includes:
- Your aesthetician will pinpoint the areas you want to enhance with dermal fillers. This marking is carried out to ensure the injections are administered in the desired areas.
- Before injecting the dermal fillers, the targeted areas will be meticulously cleaned with an antibacterial agent.
- A topical anaesthetic cream will be applied to the target areas to ensure you feel optimal comfort during the injection process.
- Next, the injecting process begins. Your aesthetician will carefully inject the filler at the previously marked sites.
- In the end, any markings will be wiped away and post-procedure guidelines will be handed over to you.
- This whole session can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the area being treated.
Post-procedure Care
- Avoid rubbing and applying pressure to the injection sites for at least 48 hours so that the fillers don’t migrate
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated
- Take it easy with kissing for 1-3 days
- Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, saunas, and steam rooms until any initial redness or swelling has subsided
Duration and Recovery
You can continue your routine activities on the same day given that you don’t interfere with the injection site. There will be swelling for a few days but it will eventually subside. Meanwhile, you need to follow your practitioner guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.
What are the Different Types of Dermal Fillers?

HyaCorp Filler Injections
These hyaluronic-acid based fillers often come in large 10ml syringes and due to this property, they can restore volume and contour large body areas like buttocks as well. Because they are highly cross-linked, their longevity is often longer than standard facial HA fillers.
Radiesse
