Indications and Placement of Temporary Dermal Fillers

With advances in technology and new products to re-create volume in the face, the aesthetic practitioner can now better serve patients who desire to improve their appearance through lifting, volumizing, or replacing certain facial aspects that have changed during the aging process. Facial volumizing has evolved from the first filler, autologous fat, to synthetic dermal fillers and has been shown to be long lasting, safe, and appropriate in different tissue depths and functions. Temporary dermal fillers are indicated for facial re-volumization and last up to 6–24 months, depending on the type and placement of the filler. The safety profile and efficacy of temporary dermal fillers make them an ideal option for nonsurgical facial rejuvenation.
