TREATMENTS
DERMAL FILLERS
Fillers, or dermal fillers, are non-invasive cosmetic procedures designed to enhance skin volume, improve contours, and smooth out the skin.
They are made of injectable materials, primarily hyaluronic acid (found naturally in the body). Fillers are designed to address various aesthetic concerns, including:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Fillers help minimize facial wrinkles and fine lines, such as the ones found in the forehead, and around the eyes and mouth.
- Facial Contouring: By providing volume to specific areas of the face, fillers can enhance facial contours and give a more balanced, youthful appearance.
- Plumping Lips: Fillers can augment and define the lips, achieving a fuller and more attractive pout.
- Acne Scar Reduction: Certain fillers can improve the appearance of acne scars. They do this by filling in depressions and promoting smoother skin
THE BENEFITS OF DERMAL FILLER
The Science Behind Dermal Filler
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a compound that naturally exists in the skin and maintains hydration and volume. HA fillers are biocompatible and biodegradable, making them a safe option for most individuals. Research has shown that HA fillers can provide long-lasting results while being well-tolerated by the body.
Minimally Invasive and Minimal Downtime
Fillers are administered through a series of precise injections, making them a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures. Downtime is typically minimal, allowing you to return to your daily activities shortly after treatment.
Natural-Looking Results
The effects of botulinum toxin injections become visible within a few days and can last up to several months, depending on individual factors. Regular treatments can help maintain your desired aesthetic outcome
