There are various substances used in dermal fillers, including Hyaluronic acid, Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), Poly-L-lactic acid, and Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), all FDA-approved. However, in India, particularly Kolkata, only Hyaluronic acid fillers are approved, which we will discuss further.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, especially in the skin, where it helps retain water and maintain hydration. Dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid are injected by trained aesthetic dermatologists or surgeons to add volume, support facial structures, and contour the face. These fillers are injected into the dermis, subcutaneously, or just above the bone, where they remain until metabolized by the body (usually 6-18 months).

The precise placement of fillers is crucial for achieving desired results, requiring expertise in understanding dermal planes and predicting their effects on facial appearance. The FDA recommends that dermal fillers should only be administered by board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons. At Image Clinic Kolkata, our dermatologists are highly trained and selected based on their expertise in injecting fillers safely and effectively.

Dermal fillers offer a safe option for enhancing facial aesthetics, and you can explore this option with confidence under the care of our skilled specialists.
