WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

Dermal fillers are used in facial aesthetics to contour, add volume or plump up areas where wrinkles and fold have appeared due to ageing or scarring. Dermal fillers are usually based on Hyaluronic Acid (HA) that naturally occurs in our skin and joints to hydrate and lubricate. Unfortunately we produce less and less of this HA as we age, which leads to dehydration, lack of volume, drooping and deepening of lines and wrinkles. HA binds with water increasing hydration. Fillers are made of a fully degradable complex sugar molecule and have been used around the world for several years now with fantastic results and an outstanding safety record.

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?

Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to our skin. The body breaks down natural Hyaluronic acid in one or two days so it needs to be constantly replaced. As we age this replacement mechanism diminishes so the moisturizing and plumping effects of Hyaluronic acid decrease.

WHAT CAN DERMAL FILLERS DO FOR ME?

Dermal fillers are clinically proven to hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen production for rejuvenation. Young, healthy-looking skin contain an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance. But as you age, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount of this substance in your skin. The lack of this substance causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds.

HOW DO DERMAL FILLERS WORK?

Dermal fillers are in the form of a clear gel that is injected into the skin to fill or enhance the selected treatment area. They are essentially high cross-linked sugar molecules that draw water and when appropriately administered create structure and hydrate skin. Volume is restored, facial wrinkles and folds are smoothed, lip and mouth area is rejuvenated.
