What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances designed to be injected under the skin to restore lost volume, smoothen
facial lines or enhance facial contours. Injectable fillers are broadly classified into 2 categories: for
facial rejuvenation and for redefining facial features.
In Singapore, dermal fillers are a non-permanent yet long-lasting way to enhance the facial appearance with
natural-looking results. The treatment can lift cheeks, plump lips, define the jawline, smooth under-eye
circles, and remove wrinkles for vibrant and youthful skin.
At Zion Aesthetic Clinic, your beauty goals are achievable through a custom-tailored treatment plan.
How can Dermal Fillers Help?
Dermal fillers can improve facial appearance by:
Face Fillers
– With facial fillers, you can soften the creases and wrinkles on your
face, or lift the shallow contours for a more flattering look.
Nose Fillers
– Applying nose fillers on certain parts of the nose can help create a
thinner and more refined shape.
Lip Fillers
– Hyaluronic acid lip fillers can help make lip tissue nourished and
hydrated, bringing a fuller, plumper form.
Cheek Fillers
– By adding volume to your cheeks, fillers can make your cheek look
younger and fuller.
Types of Dermal Fillers
Safe and effective, injectable dermal fillers are either made from a naturally derived or synthetic substance.
Hyaluronic Acid

Steps for Dermal Fillers Procedure
The process for dermal fillers is quick and simple, as follows:
Facial Assessment & Mapping
– If you opted for a package, your aesthetic doctor will
evaluate your facial structure and skin tone. They may place a mark and take images of the regions to be
treated.
Cleansing & Anesthetizing
– Before they insert the fillers, the injection sites will
be cleansed with an antibacterial agent. Your doctor may use a very cold instrument to chill the skin,
apply anaesthetic ointment, or inject local anaesthesia to help with the pain.
The Injection
– Injecting the filler takes only a minute or so per site. This phase
involves injecting, massaging, and evaluating the result.
Clean-Up & Recovering
– Once the desired result is achieved, the treated area and all
the markings will be cleansed. Mild swelling and tenderness may be felt but they should settle after a day
or two. Make sure to follow aftercare instructions.
What to Expect During Dermal Fillers Treatment?
Initial treatment begins with a consultation as you meet with your
aesthetic doctor. Make sure to discuss your
goals and concerns. Often, dermal filler treatments are regarded as relatively painless procedures and the
results are evident (albeit not fully) after receiving the filler injections.
