Your skin naturally loses some of its firmness, elasticity, and fat as you age. This causes creases and folds to appear in your skin. You may also notice a loss of volume within your facial contours or in your lips. The gel-like consistency of fillers allows them to disperse under your skin, which replaces lost subcutaneous fat and restores volume.

Many injectable fillers use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to achieve natural results. HA is naturally present throughout your body, primarily as a lubricant in joints, so it is highly biocompatible. It is also incredibly hydrophilic, so it attracts and retains water in your skin to boost hydration and softness.

Some of the effects of aging result from decreased collagen production. This leaves your skin and supportive tissue thinner and more prone to dryness. We can use dermal fillers that address these conditions by stimulating collagen production. Since your body is healing itself, incredibly natural-looking results can be achieved.

The length of your session will depend on the area being treated and how many injections you are to receive. However, most sessions will last about an hour from start to finish.

The amount of filler you need will depend on the area and conditions being treated. Many of the most popular fillers on the market contain numbing agents in their formulas so you will stay comfortable the entire time.

In most cases, you’ll be able to return to your normal daily activities straight away. There may be some temporary redness which can be masked with a mineral powder. Bruising can occur, but we do our best to minimise bruising with post-treatment pressure on the needle entry points.
