Dermal fillers are cosmetic gel injections that we can use to add volume to your face, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
We can treat problem areas such as the lips, around your nose, mouth, jaw, and under the under-eye area.
Dermal Fillers help with signs of ageing, like sagging or hollow areas, and can also plump lips or contour the face. Most fillers use hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the skin. The effects are temporary, usually lasting 6 months to 2 years.
As we age, we gradually lose hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound produced by the body that helps your skin to maintain its moisture level. As the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases, so too does the volume in your face. Your skin becomes less elastic, resulting in wrinkles and lines.
We can use dermal fillers to replenish lost hyaluronic acid, refreshing your skin for a revitalised, more youthful appearance.
Dermal filler treatments are quick, and discomfort is minimal. Treatment duration varies by the number of problem areas you would like us to treat, but in some cases, the procedure time can be as short as 10 minutes.
The treatment involves injecting a gel into the problem areas with a small, fine needle.
First, we will clean your skin, and we may also anaesthetise the treatment areas with a cream if needed, to make you more comfortable during the procedure.
We will then mark out the injection sites and administer small amounts of filler to these areas..
