What are Dermal Fillers and what are they used for?

Dermal fillers are made out of Hyaluronic Acid, a substance naturally occurring in the body.

They are used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and to restore facial volume in multiple areas, such as cheeks, chin, jaw line, around the mouth, under eyes and for lips augmentation.

What can I expect from the treatment?

Dermal fillers are a very effective and minimally invasive way of restoring volume loss, reshaping and contouring.

They are used to treat the following areas:

• Lips augmentation
• Cheeks enhancement
• Chin reshaping
• Jawline contouring
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines/Smile lines

Results are immediately visible, right after the treatment, with the best aesthetic results achieved 2-3 weeks after treatment.
