Injectable dermal fillers, commonly referred to as gel injections, are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These fillers are made from various substances, with hyaluronic acid being one of the most commonly used ingredients due to its natural occurrence in the body and its ability to retain moisture.
