What does dermal filler look like? 

Dermal fillers are clear and feel gelatinous. They vary in viscosity, from thin dermal fillers which flow easily from the tip of the needle; to thicker fillers which are firmer. Generally, thicker dermal fillers last longer and provide more lift. However, we must proceed with caution before placing thicker dermal fillers deep under the skin, to avoid causing small lumps and bumps. 

Thicker dermal fillers are more often used in cheeks, marionette lines, chins, and in the jowl area. Thinner fillers are more often used to treat fine lines around the mouth and in the lips where we want a nice, smooth spread of the filler without overfilling.
