RESTORE YOUR YOUTHFUL AND RADIANT LOOK

Dermal fillers are made from Hyaluronic acid; a natural substance found in the body. Hyaluronic acid has excellent viscoelasticity, a high moisture retention capacity and a high biocompatibility and is used in a range of medical applications, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals.

When hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin, it inflates and cushions the skin to support, define and create facial contour, whilst volumising and restoring elasticity. It also restores and holds water to the surface of skin to maintain more moisture.

As the skin ages, it loses the collagen that helps shape and support it, as lines and wrinkles appear to deepen over time. UV light exposure, cigarette smoking, air pollution and stress can all age the skins strength and flexibility, as the face begins to lose volume resulting in a sunken cheek or a ‘dragged down’ facial appearance.

The effects of dermal filler are apparent immediately after the treatment, but swelling must reside (~7 days) prior to the final inspection of results. In cases of unevenness or the requirement of more product insertion, swelling must subside before the decision to add more filler.

Effects of dermal filler lasts for 6-18 months, however, can depend on the individuals rate of metabolism and on how fast the hyaluronic acid is absorbed.
