Dermal & Facial Fillers

Dermal fillers are the main solution we use to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, reinvigorate skin and creating a youthful appearance. They are injected directly beneath a line or fold to fill the depression it makes in the skin.

Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronate) is an important physiological substance that all skins contain naturally. Its key role is to maintain the plumpness and moisture that helps keep the skin surface smooth and lifted, but levels of HA decline with age.

We inject fillers containing transparent hyaluronic acid gel, which over time is broken down by your body’s natural enzymes, just like your natural hyaluronic acid. An extra advantage is that there is an ‘antidote’ for HA fillers – an enzyme called hyaluronidase. So if for any reason you would like us to dissolve your filler, that can be done.

Fillers can be used for all sorts of lines and wrinkles, from deep nose-to-mouth lines to superficial lipstick bleed lines around the mouth. It can also be used for enhancement procedures such as lips, cheeks, nose and chin. The effect is instantly visible, although there may be some minor swelling and bruising. How long the effects last depends on the patient, their lifestyle, age and the areas injected.

By plumping cheeks, under eyes and other wrinkle-prone areas, fillers improve the appearance of facial skin and make it look firmer.

Dermal fillers are an excellent option for individuals who:

• Want to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines
• Desire to restore lost volume in cheeks, temples, or under-eye areas
• Wish to enhance lip volume or definition
• Are looking to improve facial symmetry or contours
• Seek a non-surgical solution to facial aging
• Want to complement other aesthetic treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation
