Dermal fillers are one of the most versatile aesthetic tools available, yet they are often misunderstood. Here is what you need to know about how they work, which concerns they address, and what natural-looking results actually look like.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances—typically hyaluronic acid—that add volume beneath the skin's surface. They restore lost volume, define facial features, and smooth lines caused by volume loss rather than muscle movement.

What Fillers Can Address

  • Hollowed cheeks or loss of cheekbone definition
  • Under-eye shadows or dark circles
  • Thin lips or loss of lip volume
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines (lines from mouth corners to jaw)
  • Jaw definition and chin augmentation
  • Static wrinkles (lines present at rest)

Results and Longevity

Results are visible immediately, though final results are assessed after 2 weeks once swelling has resolved. Most fillers last 6-18 months depending on the product and placement. Maintenance touch-ups keep results consistent.

At Carisma Aesthetics, we use premium fillers and prioritise natural-looking enhancement. Our doctor assesses your face and recommends subtle, balanced results that enhance your natural features. Book a consultation today.
