Overview

Dermal Fillers work by filling in defects such as creases, lines, wrinkles and scars. They are injected directly into the skin underneath the defect to fill it in and elevate the skin surface to make it look more even and smoother. Any discomfort is minimal as the solution is mixed with a local anaesthetic making the injections relatively painless.

Treatment usually takes approximately 20 minutes and you can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. The result will last between 3-18 months depending on the product.

Fillers may also be used as a preventive tool. Fillers can prevent lines and creases from becoming deeper as the skin is halted from folding further in these spaces.

As you age, your skin loses volume and elasticity. This is the case as natural substances, which provide volume and structure to the skin, decrease with age. Restoring the soft tissues of the face by adding volume is an effective procedure for rejuvenating and enhancing your appearance.

Dermal Fillers can instantly plump lines and creases in the face, giving your appearance a youthful vitality. Common areas treated are around the mouth, cheeks, eyes, and brow. Fillers may also be used in the hollows around the eyes, cheeks, lips and nasolabial folds.
