WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

Dermal fillers are used for facial aesthetic treatments and are injected into the facial skin and certain body areas such as the hands. 

Fillers can lift and contour the face as well as be used to create volume. With the right type of dermal filler the face can be smoothed out ridding unwanted facial wrinkles for a younger appearance. 

Fillers are used for both anti-ageing and beautification purposes. To give a more youthful visage. Dermal fillers can be used to smooth away facial lines and wrinkles, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, and revitalise the skin. Filler can be a non-surgical facelift option with a liquid facelift being a most popular option for lifting and contouring the face. 

Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid. This injectable substance has a gel consistency made up of stabilised, non-animal hyaluronic acid, which is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that exists naturally in the body.

Dermal fillers are long-lasting but not permanent with the result of a single filler treatment lasting for around 6 to 12 months.
