Fillers can restore lost volume to cheeks, temples, and other facial areas.
Dermal Fillers In Singapore
We offer various popular brands of dermal fillers to address skin laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles. These treatments enhance facial volume and contour, providing a more youthful appearance. Additionally, some fillers can stimulate collagen production over time, further improving skin texture and elasticity.
How do Dermal Fillers work?
Dermal fillers are soft tissue injections into the skin that aim to restore and replace volume loss in a target area. They provide non-surgical avenues to address volume loss, sunkenness in the face, hollowing in the face, and other visible symptoms due to ageing or other factors.
Dermal fillers can be used to achieve specific aesthetic outcomes by augmenting the look of certain features, such as by helping to lift the nose bridge, or by restoring skin tone and texture for a more youthful appearance.
They typically contain substances like hyaluronic acid-based and poly-L-lactic acid. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume by drawing in moisture into the skin, while poly-L-lactic acid-based fillers stimulate collagen production to recover skin elasticity, and smoothen lines and wrinkles. As dermal fillers contain biocompatible ingredients, they are gradually absorbed into the body over time. This has made them a temporary and less invasive alternative to permanent cosmetic surgery, while still achieving the desired visible aesthetic effects.
When considering a dermal filler treatment for your face or skin, it is vital to consult with a qualified medical professional to understand the options available. A medical practitioner in Singapore will also be able to assess your suitability for the procedure, and identify the most suitable type of filler used for your individual concerns.
Who are Dermal Fillers for?
Dermal fillers are suitable for adults experiencing visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. Individuals looking for non-surgical and temporary aesthetic enhancements may also consider dermal fillers as an option.
While dermal fillers are generally suitable for all skin types, a thorough assessment by a qualified practitioner will determine the appropriate treatment procedure based on individual skin conditions and aesthetic goals.
Dermal fillers can sometimes be confused with neuromodulators or toxins, which are frequently administered via injection into the skin as well. However, they are totally different in nature and effects, as explained under the Neuromodulators/Toxins page.

What are the Potential Results, Outcomes, or Risks of Dermal Fillers?
Common expected results of dermal fillers include:
- Filling of deep and fine lines and wrinkles.

Like any medical procedure, dermal fillers come with potential risks, including redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. In rare cases, more serious complications like infection, allergic reactions, injection site necrosis, nodules, or vascular occlusion can occur. It’s essential to have dermal fillers administered by a certified medical professional who can minimise these risks and address any complications should they arise.
Downtime Expectations for Dermal Fillers
There is typically minimal downtime for this treatment, though patients may experience instances of slight bruising. Patients are recommended to monitor for any adverse or unexpected reactions, and seek medical advice immediately if necessary.
Post-Treatment Recommendations
Individuals seeking to achieve specific aesthetic outcomes may consult with the medical doctor attending to their dermal filler case about additional treatments like non-surgical RF skin tightening, non-invasive skin tightening and lifting, nose thread lifts, or thread lifts to achieve specific aesthetic outcomes. A medical professional should always be consulted before pursuing any form of medical aesthetic treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dermal Fillers
How long will the dermal filler treatment result last?
The longevity of dermal filler results varies significantly depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and the individual’s metabolic rate. Typically, results can last from six months to 18 months. To maintain the aesthetic benefits, follow-up treatments may be recommended on an individual case-by-case basis. A medical doctor should be able to suggest more precise timelines and treatment plans based on your individual outcomes.
Are there any side effects of dermal fillers?
While dermal fillers are generally considered safe, they do come with potential side effects. Commonly, patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days. More serious, but rare, side effects can include allergic reactions, infection, or lumpiness. In very rare cases, there can be complications such as vascular occlusion. It is crucial to have fillers administered by a skilled practitioner to minimise these risks.
Can I go to work or exercise after receiving the dermal filler procedure?
Yes. Most patients can return to work immediately post-dermal filler, as there is no significant downtime. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous activities and heavy exercise for 24-48 hours to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising in the injection site. Gentle movements and less physically demanding tasks are preferred. Each individual’s reaction to the treatment can vary, so it’s best to follow the specific advice given by your practitioner.
What precautions should I take post-treatment to maintain the results?
Post-treatment, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and exposure to extreme temperatures in order to optimise healing and longevity of the filler. Other key precautions might include avoiding significant movement or massage of the treated area for at least 24 hours, avoiding high temperatures such as saunas or sunbaths, and avoiding strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours. Patients should also use a gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and broad-spectrum sunscreen in their skincare routine, and avoid wearing makeup for the first 12 hours. General lifestyle changes like staying hydrated and following a healthy skincare routine can also help to prolong the effects of dermal filler treatment.
