DERMAL FILLER
Revitalise - Lift - Define
Dermal filler products provide a smooth, long-lasting correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring chemical found in your skin and using it in your treatment leaves you with beautiful, natural looking results that last for up to a year.
As we age, the skin becomes less hydrated and less plump and, with gravity also at work, pulling at the skin causing it to age, we experience damage to the skin. The environment and smoking can also contribute to fine lines and wrinkles as the hyaluronic acid content of our skin decreases.
Dermal fillers that contain the hyaluronic acid are a popular choice to help these changes because they can help improve and slow down the signs of ageing and rehydrate the skin tissue. Treatment is quick, convenient and results can be seen straight away.
Collagen is a natural protein that is the main constituent of skin, bones, muscles and ligaments. Over time, our collagen cells which provide the structural support, resilience and shape to the skin, reduce in number which causes the skin to lose elasticity allowing fine lines and wrinkles to develop. Collagen Replacement Therapy using dermal fillers makes it possible to temporarily suspend and even reverse the signs of ageing. Following treatment, wrinkles are markedly and visibly reduced and lines in the skin, repaired. The suppleness, elasticity, and tone of the skin is naturally restored, with immediately visible results.
Benefits of Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers can temporarily restore lost volume, giving your skin a smoother and younger appearance. Dermal fillers reduce wrinkles, correct creases, folds, and scars. This treatment can be used to fill minor to moderate lines and wrinkles and is especially effective around the eyes, nose, and mouth. They also add contour definition to the face and mouth. Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid (which is naturally found in the body) and the results can be seen for up to six to eighteen months after a treatment depending on the product used, making this a cost-effective procedure.
