Facial Dermal Fillers

Service Description

Facial dermal fillers are made up of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance that naturally occurs in the body. HA is essential for keeping the skin hydrated due to its ability to bind to and retain water. It plays a vital role in keeping our skin plump and maintaining our facial contours. As we age the body produces less hyaluronic acid and this is just one of the contributing factors to the skins ageing process. As we age the body also stops producing collagen and elastin which are the two proteins responsible for keeping our skin firm and youthful in appearance. Without these the body begins to show typical signs of ageing such as lines, wrinkles, sunken cheeks and thinning of the lips. Facial dermal fillers can be used to soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles by adding or restoring volume to create a more youthful appearance. They can also be used to enhance facial contours & define the shape of an individuals features, such as the lips, cheeks, jawline, nose and even the hands. Common areas treated with facial dermal fillers include, but are not limited to: - Cheek contouring and volume restoration - Jawline contouring - Chin contouring and mental (chin) crease - Nasolabial folds (smile lines) - Marionette lines (jowls) - Cheek and buccal hollows - Forehead lines - Deep set glabella lines (frown lines) - Perioral lines (smokers lines) - Hand rejuvenation Facial dermal fillers can last anything from 6–18 months depending on the product used, the area being treated and an individuals lifestyle factors.
