Dermal fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps the skin appear more firm and supple, thereby helping it to appear younger and more radiant. Our skin naturally makes hyaluronic acid, but as we age its ability to do so decreases. This in turn contributes to signs of ageing such as sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Dermal fillers can help correct this by placing hyaluronic acid back into the skin across various areas of the face and neck.
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment performed by trained professionals here at the practice and shouldn’t cause any pain at all. We will administer a numbing agent beforehand so you won’t feel anything as the substance is administered and the whole process only takes half an hour.
We can treat any area of the face and neck with dermal fillers. Some of the areas we most commonly focus on include the eyes, mouth, and nose. They can also be used to help add volume around the cheeks, jawline, and chin and to enhance the shape of the nose.
Dermal fillers are a fast and effective treatment to administer, and you should only be in the chair for 30 minutes.
Most patients report noticing the results of the treatment lasting for up to 18 months.
