Dermal fillers are substances injected beneath the skin to help smooth fine lines and boost volume. These injections are in-office procedures that are minimally invasive alternatives to cosmetic surgery. Patients often undergo filler injections to achieve a more youthful appearance with as little down-time as possible.
