In Singapore, dermal fillers are a commonly used non-surgical facial contouring procedure for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their facial appearance. The ageing process impacts various facial structures, leading to a tired, saggy, or undefined look. Dermal fillers offer a solution by lifting and volumising certain areas of the face.
Dermal fillers are temporary materials designed to add volume and contour facial features. They help volumise areas like cheeks or temples, and even lift saggy skin when applied strategically to the jawline or face.
Here’s a fun fact: Did you know dermal fillers can reduce dark eye circles? By plumping the under-eyes, they diminish hollowness and dark circles.

In Singapore, dermal fillers are broadly categorised into hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and non-hyaluronic acid fillers. HA, a natural polymer found in the body, is replenished with HA fillers, promoting collagen production. HA fillers can be dissolved if needed using hyaluronidase. Depending on your aesthetic goals, our doctors will choose the filler type with the best compatibility.
Dermal filler face treatments are generally safe and widely used in Singapore. Minor side effects like pain and bleeding may occur, and more rare complications include overcorrection, under-correction, asymmetry, or filler migration. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if adverse events occur.
The procedure involves using needles or cannulas to precisely place fillers. Anaesthesia injections are usually unnecessary, and most fillers contain a numbing agent. There might be minimal pain, and measures like numbing cream or ice packs are used to reduce discomfort. Temporary swelling and infrequent bruising may follow the procedure.
After the treatment, it’s advised to avoid certain activities and follow post-treatment care instructions for optimal results.
