Hyaluronic acid fillers are gel-like injectable products used to restore volume, smooth folds, enhance lips, contour the cheeks and jawline, soften tear troughs and rejuvenate hands. Different formulations are designed for different depths and tissue behaviours, from soft skin-hydrating products to firm structural volumisers. Results are typically seen immediately and last 6–18 months; the effect can be dissolved with hyaluronidase ijnections if needed.
