What is it?

Understanding Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made primarily from hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring substance in your skin that binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing hydration and structural support. As we age, we naturally lose HA and collagen, leading to volume loss, deeper lines, and changes in facial contour. Dr. Malak uses only premium, CE-marked fillers from leading manufacturers and selects the product with the optimal rheological properties for each treatment area. Clinical research published in 2024 demonstrated that cross-linked HA fillers stimulate type I collagen production — increasing synthesis by up to 28-fold — meaning the benefits extend beyond simple volume replacement. All HA fillers used are fully reversible with hyaluronidase enzyme, providing an important safety net. Dr. Malak is trained in vascular occlusion emergency protocols and keeps hyaluronidase readily available at all times.

  • Fully reversible — hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme if needed
  • Natural-looking volume restoration tailored to your unique facial anatomy and proportions
  • Results typically last 6–18 months depending on the area, product, and individual metabolism
  • Research shows HA fillers stimulate collagen production over time, contributing to longer-term skin quality improvement
  • Tailored product selection: Dr. Malak chooses specific filler viscosities and formulations for each treatment area

Potential Risks

  • •Swelling and bruising at injection sites — this is normal and typically resolves within 3–7 days
  • •Asymmetry — uncommon, and addressed at the complimentary review appointment
  • •Infection — very rare with proper aseptic technique
  • •Nodule or lump formation — rare, often massageable or treated with hyaluronidase
  • •Vascular occlusion — extremely rare (approximately 0.003% incidence per large-scale studies). Dr. Malak is fully trained in recognition and emergency management protocols, with hyaluronidase always available

FAQ

Common Questions

It depends on the area and product used. Lips typically last 6–9 months due to the high muscle movement in that area. Cheeks tend to last 12–18 months, and jawline filler 12–15 months. Dr. Malak will discuss expected longevity during your consultation.
