Dermal Fillers FAQ

How do HA fillers work?

HA fillers provide immediate volume and support to the skin, attract and retain moisture, and stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin.

When hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the dermal layer of the skin or just below it, they provide immediate volume and support to the skin. As they absorb water, they fill in wrinkles, fine lines, and hollow areas for skin that appears smoother and more youthful. The added volume can also lift and contour specific facial areas, such as the cheeks or chin.

One of hyaluronic acid’s most helpful properties is its unique capacity to bind with and retain water molecules, which is how it helps skin stay hydrated and plump-looking. When HA fillers are injected, they attract and retain moisture in the skin, further enhancing the plumping effect and contributing to a more hydrated, radiant appearance.

Because the human body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, HA fillers are highly biocompatible—integrating well with the body’s tissues and minimizing the risk of adverse reactions. Once injected, HA fillers blend with natural HA and improve the skin’s overall texture and appearance.

What are the benefits of HA fillers?

Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers have both cosmetic benefits and therapeutic benefits. When used in aesthetic medicine, they can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, add fullness to lips, and provide lift and contour. In terms of their therapeutic applications, HA fillers can effectively treat scars, improve skin atrophy, and provide superior hydration.

• Immediate results: Hyaluronic acid fillers provide instant improvements in the treated areas—one reason they have become such a popular treatment.

• Natural-looking outcomes: Since the body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, fillers made from it tend to produce results that look and feel natural.

• Reversible & adjustable: One unique advantage of HA fillers is that they are reversible. If you are not pleased with your results, a skillful practitioner can use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to instantly dissolve filler.

• Minimal downtime: The minimally invasive treatment allows for a quick return to normal activities, often immediately after pressurization.

• Hydration & volume: Hyaluronic acid is known for its incredible ability to retain moisture. When injected, it helps hydrate the skin from within—adding volume while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging.

• Versatility: HA fillers can be used in many areas of the face, including lips, cheeks, under the eyes, and around the mouth, making them a truly versatile aesthetic tool. They also work very well in conjunction with other treatments, like Botox, and other neurotoxins.

• Temporary & biodegradable: Unlike some permanent fillers, HA fillers are temporary and biodegradable. This aspect reduces long-term risks and allows adjustments over time as the face naturally changes with aging.

• Safety: HA fillers have a good safety profile, especially when administered by an experienced and qualified practitioner. Allergic reactions are rare due to the natural compatibility of HA with the body.

• Collagen stimulation: Some studies suggest that HA fillers may stimulate the production of collagen in the skin, contributing to a naturally youthful appearance over time.

While HA fillers offer many benefits, it is imperative to work with a medically qualified practitioner like Ms Kida Nightly at Nightly Opulence Beauty, who can help shape realistic expectations and use her expertise in facial balancing to recommend the safest and most effective course of action to achieve your desired results.
