DERMAL FILLERS

Skin fillers are more commonly used  in the lower third of the face, to correct deeper skin creases and sometimes to provide lip enhancement.  They can also be used elsewhere to correct skin folds and creases that are beyond prevention/treatment by Botox. 

In the case of lip enhancement, there is often a decrease in lip volume as the result of the ageing process, and there is also a loss of the definition of the margin between the red lip and the skin.   As things progress, many women will also gradually develop vertical lip lines, especially with exposure to the sun and smoking.  

The filler we primarily use consists of Hyaluronic acid.  This is compound which occurs naturally in the body, and is synthetically manufactured, avoiding the risk of allergy reaction that can occur for example with collagens.  

The process in invasive, a local anaesthetic is usually required, and there may be a minor amount of local swelling or tenderness after the procedure. 

The effects of dermal fillers last for anything up to a year.
