Dermal Filler (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and definition where the face has flattened with age — cheeks, chin, jawline and the folds running from nose to mouth — and to correct under-eye hollows or refine the nose. Rather than simply filling lines, the clinic plans placement across the face so proportions stay balanced and natural, and hyaluronic fillers can be dissolved if an adjustment is ever needed.

Dermal filler treatment at MASI uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace deep volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, temples, chin and jawline with age, or to address specific concerns such as under-eye tear-trough hollows and non-surgical nose reshaping. Because that volume loss is part of what drives sagging and deepening folds, restoring it in the right places is often associated with a more refreshed appearance than treating individual lines in isolation. Numbing cream is applied first, and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area; results are visible immediately and continue to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves, with mild tenderness or small bruises normal for a few days. Hyaluronic acid results are typically associated with around nine to eighteen months of effect depending on the product and area before the gel is naturally broken down. A key practical advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved should you want to reverse or adjust a result. For deeper structural work the clinic also offers a dextranomer-and-hyaluronic combination. Filler is suited to adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, a less defined jaw or chin, deepening nasolabial folds, under-eye shadowing or a nasal contour they would like softened; suitability is assessed by the physician at a free consultation.
