Overview

The process of aging, assisted by gravity and lifestyle, causes collagen and elastin depletion, and hence wrinkles, lines, and volume loss in the face. These may make us appear tired, aged, or even gloomy.
Fortunately, modern aesthetic medicine offers non-surgical solutions to rejuvenate your appearance, helping you restore a youthful vibrancy.
Among the most popular and effective treatments are filler injections, a specialty offered with precision and artistry by Dr. Sherif Hantash.

What are filler injections?

Filler injections, commonly known as dermal fillers, are medically developed substances injected beneath the skin’s surface to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles and folds, enhance facial contours, and rejuvenate various face and body areas.
Unlike surgical procedures, dermal fillers offer a non-invasive way to achieve immediate and natural-looking results. They address the signs of aging that diet and skincare alone cannot. The dermal filler injections in Dubai are formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA).
Hyaluronic acid, a natural skin component, draws in and holds water, making skin hydrated, plump, and elastic. As we get older, our body’s natural hyaluronic acid (HA) decreases, which leads to volume loss and the appearance of wrinkles.
When injected, HA fillers replenish this lost volume, integrate seamlessly with your tissues, and provide immediate lift and smoothness.
Beyond HA, other dermal fillers include biostimulating fillers (like Radiesse and Ellanse) that stimulate your body’s collagen production, leading to longer-lasting and more gradual skin quality and volume improvements.
