Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to give your skin and self-confidence, a subtle boost, with natural results. Dermal Fillers are used to replace the lost volume in areas such as the nose-to-mouth lines, corners of mouth and cheeks. You may notice immediate results but the full effect can take up to four weeks. The effects will last approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on the condition of the skin. Repeat treatments offer even longer results.
What are dermal fillers and how do they work?
As we age, loss of volume to the face causes wrinkles and lines to appear. Your skin produces collagen, which provides structure to your skin, and hyaluronic acid, which provides volume and hydration. The production of both of these substances diminishes during the course of the ageing process, and that is why your smile lines or frown lines stop bouncing back and become more pronounced.
Filler treatments are used as a way to give nature’s process a helping hand. A filler procedure is simply a series of injections of hyaluronic acid, or collagen into areas of the face to target particular wrinkles or to focus on specific skin repair. The result is you maintain your facial structure and youthfulness, naturally. Like the best version of you!
