When we’re younger, the skin’s natural supply of collagen and hyaluronic acid can keep it looking plump, bouncy, and oh-so youthful. But the production of both collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases as we age, and the skin can start to sag and appear dry and crepey, leading to more pronounced wrinkles and lines. Dermal fillers have been created to counteract this loss and get to work by administering hyaluronic acid directly into the skin. They can be used to create plumper, more taut-looking skin, as well as to add definition where you may feel it is lacking.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that the skin creates on its own – unfortunately, the natural production of it decreases as we age. It is also a common ingredient in topical skin products such as serums and moisturisers.

There is often some slight bruising or swelling at the site of the treatment. This normally goes away within a day or two, but in most cases, you can get back to your day completely as normal.
Dermal fillers can be used across the facial area, but in most cases, we’ll focus on the cheeks, chin, jaw, mouth, and eyes.
