Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a natural compound found in the skin that has many important functions, including holding in moisture, providing cushioning, and aiding in tissue repair. It is also responsible for holding together the skins structural components collagen and elastin, and helps in creation of the protective barrier against microorganisms. Dermal fillers treatment involves injecting a medically developed solution under the skin with a fine needle to enhance facial features and plump and fill lines, grooves or sunken areas. Dermal fillers are used to treat a range of skin concerns, including lack of volume and shallow to deep wrinkles and folds, such as smile, marionette and lipstick lines and those on the corners of the mouth, chin, neck, décolletage and hands. Dermal filler treatments are used to smooth away facial lines and wrinkles, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, and revitalise the skin. Due to the properties of hyaluronic acid, once injected an instant volume effect can be seen. Unwanted folds and wrinkles can be “plumped up” to reduce their appearance, resulting in a smoother, more youthful looking skin. Dermal filler injections provide an effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smooth the skin and give a more youthful appearance. The result of a single treatment can be seen instantly and can last for around 6 to 9 months. Dermal filler injections can give natural looking results that do not affect facial expression. As your face changes over time, dermal fillers allow you to control your looks subtly as you age.
