– Adding volume to lips and cheeks
– Filling in deep folds and creases
– Enhancing facial contours
– Correcting asymmetry
– Rejuvenating aging hands
The duration of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers can last between 6 to 18 months, while some other fillers can last longer.

In some cases, hyaluronic acid fillers can be partially or completely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
