Dermal fillers are injectable substances — most commonly hyaluronic acid (HA) — used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, making it an ideal filler material.
Fillers are fully reversible. Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid, can be used by a qualified practitioner to dissolve filler if the result is unsatisfactory or in the event of a complication.

Filler placed in or near blood vessels can cause vascular occlusion — a serious complication that can lead to tissue death or, in rare cases, blindness if near the eye area. This is why practitioner experience and anatomy knowledge is critical. Always ensure your practitioner has hyaluronidase available.
