Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a non-permanent cosmetic injectable treatment which can effectively treat some of the deeper underlying signs of ageing, such as lines, wrinkles and loss of volume. They are used to rejuvinate and revitalize providing immediate, natural results. 

The most commonly used fillers today are largely composed of hyaluronic acid(HA), a molecule which occurs naturally in the body. HA is found in abundance in our skin, cartilage, joints and the fluid in our eyes and is the most water-loving molecule known to man. Around one third of our total HA is made and broken down daily, and as we age, our bodies’ natural ability to regenerate HA slowly decreases. 

Cosmetic Dermal Fillers work by lifting and restoring and rehydrating the skins natural volume and elasticity giving you a more youthful appearance. Cosmetic injections with dermal fillers are used to plump up wrinkled skin, banish deep lines, and remodel your face to add volume in nose to mouth lines, cheeks, chin, jawline and other areas of the face. They are also used to plump and redefine your lips , lifting creased skin around the mouth, filling smokers lines and plumping out eye hollows. 

As we age and the effects of gravity become apparent we gradually lose facial volume. Dermal Fillers can provide immediate, natural rejuvenation with the support and structure needed to add volume and restore the youthful contours of the face that have been lost over time. Effective, safe and longlasting results for volume loss can be obtained with a simple non-surgical procedure.
