As we age, the internal structures of the face begin to change. Bone and fat pads begin to shrink and recede.
This leads to a drooping effect, creating folds around the mouth and jowls. All of this can leave us with a sad or tired look, even when we do not feel that way.
Dermal filler treatments inject a gel-like substance into these areas to restore lost volume to areas affected by natural ageing and can be used for volumisation, facial contouring and a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
The filler is made from Hyaluronic acid which is naturally occurring in the body and helps to keep the skin hydrated.
Please note: this may vary from person to person. All patients will have a full clinical consultation and assessment prior to treatment, tailoring it to their specific needs.
