What Are Dermal Fillers & How Do They Work?

Dermal filler injections is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that plumps up wrinkles, smooths lines, and restores volume to your face. This common cosmetic procedure typically gives immediate results that can last months or even years, typically up to 18 months.

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments which are made with biocompatible solutions. At Precision Health & Training our dermal fillers are made up of Hyaluronic Acid, it is used to restore and volumise facial contours for a more youthful appearance.

As we age, we lose the fat pads in the upper portion of the face and the lower face tends to become fuller. Filler can help fill the areas that have lost the contour or fat. Results are immediate but can be exaggerated due to swelling but this will settle in 24-48 hours.
