About
Dermal Fillers
As we age the building blocks that keep our skin plump and hydrated, such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, are reduced. This leaves our skin lacking in volume, which causes fine lines and folds.
Dermal filler treatments use injectable hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body, to plump out the skin to lift and hydrate. They can also be used to enhance definition and contour in areas such as your chin, cheeks and jawline.
