Dermal fillers are injectable materials used to reduce wrinkles and treat deficits in facial volume.
Products work to mitigate the signs of ageing and improve facial contouring, ultimately providing long-term facial aesthetic enhancement. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the most widely used type of dermal filler.
Dermal Fillers
Nasolabial Folds: The nasolabial folds (also known as laughter lines) occur between the cheeks and the upper lip and can become more pronounced with ageing. Dermal fillers can be used to replace volume into these folds and reduce their appearance.
Marionette Lines: These are the wrinkles that extend downwards from the corners of the mouth, separating the cheeks from the chin. Marionette lines become more pronounced with age and can result in a downturned and depressed look.
Lips: Also known as HD lips. Today, plump and full look to the lips is considered attractive and desirable but not all of us were gifted with this look naturally, the process of ageing can often reduce the volume of the lips.
