What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a sought-after cosmetic enhancement in Singapore. These FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid-based solutions are designed to help restore facial contours, add volume, and refine definition for a more youthful appearance. As a non-surgical option, they visibly smooth lines and wrinkles, offering immediate and natural-looking results.

What Are Dermal Fillers For?
Dermal fillers serve two key purposes: Volume Replacement and Facial Shaping.
As we age, natural decreases in collagen, fat, and bone mass lead to facial volume loss, resulting in sagging skin, hollow cheeks, and visible lines. Dermal fillers address this by restoring fullness and youthful contours. Beyond revitalising the appearance of ageing skin, they are also expertly used to enhance and define facial features.
Dermal fillers can address concerns such as:
- Restoring lost volume (e.g., cheeks, temples).
- Smoothing deep lines and wrinkles (e.g., nasolabial folds).
- Enhancing facial contours (forehead, nose, lips).
- Sculpting and balancing the profile with chin dermal filler.
- Harmonising overall facial definition, often combined with treatments like HIFU or Botox.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal filler solutions are precisely placed beneath the skin in targeted treatment areas. Using fine needles or, more commonly, cannulas, these hyaluronic acid-based products integrate with the skin’s structure. This strategic placement helps to “fill” and support depressed or volume-deficient areas, thereby lifting contours, smoothing lines, and restoring youthful plumpness. The process works by adding immediate volume and stimulating natural hydration, contributing to a refreshed and more defined appearance.
What Are The Types Of Dermal Fillers?
There are two main types of dermal fillers widely used in Singapore: hyaluronic acid fillers and collagen bio-stimulating fillers. At Become Aesthetics Clinic, we primarily use Hyaluronic Acid Fillers, as HA is an ingredient that is generally safe for most individuals.
Hyaluronic Acid is also an excellent humectant that can retain over 1000 times its weight in water. This ability allows it to deliver deep moisture to the skin, plumping up the face, smoothing out wrinkles, and improving facial contours.
Types of Dermal Filler | Hyaluronic Acid Fillers | Bio-Stimulating Fillers |
|---|---|---|
| Active Ingredient | Hyaluronic Acid (HA) |
Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) Poly-L-lactic (PLLA) Polycaprolactone (PCL) |

Dermal Fillers Procedure at Become Aesthetic Singapore
At Become Aesthetics Clinic, we prioritise your comfort and optimal results throughout your dermal filler journey in Singapore. Our comprehensive procedure ensures a safe and effective experience.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Our MOH-certified doctors assess your facial anatomy, discuss aesthetic goals, and determine the most suitable dermal filler plan. They advise on realistic outcomes and address any pre-existing conditions, ensuring your safety and suitability for treatment.
During The Procedure
After meticulous application of numbing cream (approx. 30 minutes for comfort), the dermal filler is precisely placed. This application, using fine needles or cannulas, typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on areas like the chin region. Immediate results are often visible, with optimal outcomes settling in around two weeks as the filler integrates.
Aftercare
Post-treatment, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions for optimal healing. Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at application sites usually subsides within days. Strict sun protection and following guidance on activity are crucial. Effects, especially for hyaluronic acid fillers, can last up to 15 months, with regular top-ups recommended for maintenance.
Do Dermal Fillers Show Results Immediately?
Yes, results from dermal filler application are immediate. You will typically observe added volume in sunken areas and a visible reduction in lines and wrinkles right after treatment. Optimal results fully emerge within about two weeks as the filler settles and integrates with the skin’s moisture.
What Are The Possible Side Effects of Dermal Fillers?
At Become Aesthetics Clinic, we primarily use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers, which are generally well-tolerated and considered safe. While HA fillers are highly biocompatible, some potential side effects, usually temporary, may occur:
- Temporary Swelling or Redness: Mild swelling or redness at the application sites is common and typically subsides within a few days.
- Bruising: Small bruises may appear at the treated areas, which usually resolve within a week.
- Tenderness or Discomfort: The treated areas might feel tender or slightly uncomfortable for a short period after the procedure.
- Lumps or Bumps: Infrequently, small lumps or bumps might be felt, which often resolve naturally or can be massaged by your doctor.
- Itching: Temporary itching at the application site may occur.
Our MOH-certified doctors will discuss all potential risks and aftercare instructions thoroughly during your consultation to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Dermal fillers mainly comprise Hyaluronic Acid, a natural substance found in your cartilage, joint fluid, connective, and skin tissues. Since Hyaluronic Acid is found in the body, dermal filler treatments are very well tolerated, with minimal risk of allergic reaction. The dermal fillers available in Singapore are FDA-approved.
If you are looking to enhance your facial features or add volume to a sunken area, dermal fillers offer a safe and efficient method to refresh your overall appearance.
