Procedure guide

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are gels and particles injected under the skin to soften folds and add volume to the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, under-eye hollows and the back of the hands. FDA regulates them as implanted medical devices approved for adults 22 and older. Hyaluronic acid fillers made up 30 percent of minimally invasive treatments in the ASPS 2025 statistics.

The treatment

What dermal filler changes

A dermal filler is a medical device implant, not a drug. FDA approves each product for named areas of the face and hands, in adults 22 and older.

Most fillers are absorbed by the body over time. FDA lists hyaluronic acid effects at about 6 to 12 months, calcium hydroxylapatite at about 18 months and poly-L-lactic acid at up to 2 years. PMMA beads are not absorbed. FDA has approved one filler made from a material that stays in the body.

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar found in skin and cartilage. It binds water and swells as a gel, and it is crosslinked to last longer. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with the enzyme hyaluronidase. Fillers not made of hyaluronic acid can be difficult or impossible to remove.

FDA approval rests on controlled studies in the face and hands. Poly-L-lactic acid is given in a series of injections, and its effect becomes apparent over several weeks.

It is not permanent, except PMMA filler. Ongoing treatment is needed to keep results.
FDA has not approved fillers to enlarge the breasts, buttocks or feet, or for injection into bone, tendon, ligament or muscle.
