Dermal Fillers
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid which is injected under the skin to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles or lines, and can also be used to contour by adding volume to your faces natural features.
​
The products are composed of stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA) which occurs naturally in the cells of the skin. It works by drawing in water and therefore augmenting the skin, thus reducing wrinkles. Filler is not permanent and depending on what type you use, results can last from between one to two years.
