Dermal fillers are designed to reduce the appearance of facial lines, enhance lips and also help with the appearance of scars.

There are many products that can be used instantly to soften various facial lines and wrinkles. They can range from non-permanent fillers to Permanent fillers depending on what is best for you.
During a consultation the various pros and cons will be discussed and a treatment plan will be devised that is ideal for you.

How Dermal Fillers Work:

All young smooth skin has one thing in common: hyaluronic acid. Found in all skin tissue and identical from species to species, this building block of sorts fills out the space between collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, holding in water and maintaining the skin’s volume.

With age, levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin decrease and so we end up with furrows, wrinkles, and often thinner lips.By injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, we can mimic the effects of natural hyaluronic acid and produce the look and feel of hydrated skin. By filling depressions in the skin, wrinkles and folds are considerably softened and/or eliminated.

Lip Enhancement

For people who require more physical volume to their lips, lip enhancement can be obtained by restoring youthful anatomy with a filling substance. This provides youthfulness to your mouth, improved lip structure, restoring your "cupids bow", framing and defining your lips and by improving any vertical lip lines and creases.
