Dermal Filler FAQ: Uses, Safety & What to Expect | About Skin Clinic

Most fillers used at About Skin Clinic are made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body. HA fillers add volume beneath the skin and are gradually broken down by the body over time.

Common areas include lips, under-eye hollows (tear troughs), nasolabial folds, chin, and nose. Each area requires different technique and injection depth, which is why an experienced injector matters.

Results generally last 6–18 months depending on the product used, the treated area, and individual metabolism. As the filler naturally breaks down, touch-up treatments can maintain the result.

When performed by a qualified doctor in a licensed medical facility, HA fillers have a well-established safety profile. Risks increase significantly with unlicensed injectors or unverified products — always confirm your provider’s credentials and the product’s authenticity before treatment.

Ask your provider to show the product packaging and batch information before injection. Reputable clinics are transparent about the brand and origin of the product they use.
