Anti-Wrinkle Injections
What is it / how does it work
Skin naturally produces hyaluronic acid (HA) when you are young, which keeps the skin full, hydrated and elastic. Dermal fillers mimics the effects of HA causing reduced facial lines, scars and increased plumpness of skin and lips. It is also commonly used to treat lines caused by smoking and sun damage.
What can it treat
Dermal fillers can be used in a variety of areas some of the most popular are listed below:
Forehead
Marionette lines ( nose to lip lines – lip to chin)
Nasolabial folds - nose to mouth
Cheek area
Lips
Chin
Nose definition
Acne pitting/scarring
How is it performed
Dermal filler is injected carefully into the area of concern until the desired outcome is achieved. There may be some discomfort so we make every effort to keep this to a minimum.
