Add volume and smooth out wrinkles or fine lines with dermal fillers
Dermal filler is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a substance into the skin to add volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance facial contours.
One of the benefits of dermal fillers is that they provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance without the need for surgery. They are also a great option for those who want to enhance their features without committing to a permanent change.
The most commonly used dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to the skin.

How does dermal filler work?
Dermal filler treatment involves a gel-like substance (natural or synthetic) being injected into target areas of the face with a cannula or needle. The filler plumps the skin from the inside out and works in place of lost fat and proteins to smooth lines and wrinkles and volumise hollow areas.
There are different types of dermal filler substances (some temporary, some longer-lasting, some thinner, some thicker), including calcium hydroxyapatite, polymethylmethacrylate and hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular and most commonly used. A naturally-occurring substance produced by the body, hyaluronic acid has huge hydrating abilities.
