Dermal Fillers by
Dr. Ahmad Kamal
As we age, a natural process of facial volume loss occurs, with an estimated 1-2ml reduction per decade of life. Changes can become noticeable as early as age 30, as facial fat pads diminish, leading to a hollowed appearance in areas like the cheeks, under-eyes, and temples. A decrease in bone density and the thinning of bone structure further contribute to this volume depletion. Additionally, the breakdown of collagen and elastin compromises skin firmness, resulting in sagging and accelerated signs of aging.
Fortunately, Dermal Filler injections offer an immediate and effective non-surgical solution to restore lost facial volume and rejuvenate your appearance.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers Include:
Botox injections are a renowned skin treatment solution for several compelling reasons:
- Fuller, more defined lips.
- Smoother facial lines and creases.
- Enhanced facial contours.
- Correction of aesthetic irregularities.
- Improvement in the appearance of recessed scars.
- Minimal recovery time.
- Instantly visible results.
- Delivers remarkably natural-looking outcomes.
Dermal Fillers Treatment Explained
Dermal fillers work by injecting a medically formulated solution beneath the skin using a fine needle. This process enhances facial features, adding plumpness and filling in lines, grooves, or sunken areas for a revitalized look.
Common Areas for Dermal Filler Treatment:
- Under-eyes
- Cheeks
- Mouth area
- Chin
- Lips
- Nose
- Jawline
- Hip-dips & buttocks
How Long Do Fillers Results Last?
The results of dermal fillers can vary depending on the specific product used and the area treated. Generally, hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal fillers are designed to gradually dissolve naturally over time, with effects lasting up to 6 months
The Power of Hyaluronic Acid
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a frequently utilized component in dermal fillers. As a naturally occurring substance found within our skin, HA plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and fullness.
- Provides intense moisture to the skin.
- Possesses anti-aging properties that help to slow down the aging process.
- Aids in reducing the appearance of fine lines and promotes smoother skin texture.
- Creates protective layers against excessive sun exposure.
- Helps in reducing pigmentation and blemishes.

Filler Dissolving at Ahmad Kamal
Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal fillers are designed to gradually dissolve naturally over time. Generally, an HA dermal filler will be metabolized by the body within 6 months to 2 years, depending on the specific product type and consistency. If the outcomes of a filler injection do not meet the client’s expectations, HA-based dermal fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme known as Hyaluronidase.
However, semi-permanent dermal fillers composed of materials other than Hyaluronic Acid do not respond to dissolving agents. It is crucial to seek expert consultation to prevent the need for dissolving dermal fillers due to unsatisfactory results or the use of substandard products. At Ahmad Kamal, our experienced and skilled Doctors specialize in dermal filler injections, consistently delivering natural and transformative results.
