Dermal Fillers are a popular non-surgical treatment utilising hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance already found in your skin, to replace volume loss, smooth creases, soften lines and enhance facial contours.
Signs of ageing can often be the result of volume loss. As we get older our facial tissues thin out, collagen is lost and bone reabsorption occurs, creating facial features that appear hollow and cause lines to appear that once weren’t there.
Dermal fillers are a good option for anyone wanting to restore volume to sagging skin, make facial features more symmetrical, plump up cheeks and lips, diminish vertical lip lines, smooth out a chin crease, soften nasolabial folds, or soften creases and wrinkles.
Dermal fillers come in different thicknesses with each product is specifically formulated to achieve different results. It is important to choose an experienced professional that understands these areas, the product and the results you are wanting to achieve.
