Dermal Fillers
Natural Contour, Enhance & Volume Replacement
What are dermal fillers?
Over time, our faces tend to lose volume as collagen production reduces and eventually ceases. Dermal fillers work to replace this lost volume. Most of them contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our skin that stimulates collagen production.
What are the benefits?
Dermal fillers are exceptional in targeting volume depletion and deep lines with little to no downtime and instant results.
How do dermal fillers work?
Most dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid which help to maintain the skin’s moisture. Strategically placed dermal fillers restore lost volume and contour the face naturally, without looking “done”.
What results can I expect?
Expertly placed dermal fillers can take years off a person’s appearance. On top of the physical change, this can also have a profound impact on self-esteem. The results are not only visible from one’s appearance but are also measured in what they do for a person’s general well-being.
