Facial fillers are substances injected beneath the skin to help smooth lines and boost facial volume. Also known as dermal fillers, these injections are in-office procedures that are minimally invasive alternatives to cosmetic surgery. Patients often undergo facial filler injections to achieve a more youthful appearance with as little downtime as possible. Fillers are available to target nearly any area of the face, including tear trough, cheeks, chin, laugh lines, and thin lips.
