Dermal fillers mimic the effects of hyaluronic acid which is naturally produced by the skin keeping skin full, hydrated, and elastic. As we age, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases causing the loss of volume resulting in facial lines and sunken features. Dermal fillers can also be used to treat lines caused by smoking & sun damage.
Dermal Fillers are exceptionally effective at treating the face: to balance asymmetry, contouring and defining features, plumping lips and cheeks, restructuring temples, jaw lines and chins, correcting acne scars, improving the look of the nose through non-surgical nose job and refreshing ageing hands.
