DERMAL FILLERS
With age, we tend to lose subcutaneous fat which causes skin to sag and lose its youthful shape. Dermal fillers help to reduce these signs of aging by restoring volume and shape where it’s been lost, elevating your natural beauty and confidence.
Typically, dermal fillers consist of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) as the main ingredient. This is a natural occurring substance that helps retain moisture and volume. They are administered by injecting a small needle beneath the skin, which then restores volume and shape where it has been lost. Dermal fillers are a great way to add facial contouring, enhance the lips, or add definition with minimal downtime.
If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to restore volume and definition to your face or lips without excessive downtime, then Dermal Fillers may be the right choice. Book a free consultation with us, and we will create a customized aesthetic journey that works best for you!

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Our clinic uses Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance that is biocompatible and reversible. During the procedure we inject the treatment areas with a small needle that administers the substance, reducing look of wrinkles, adding volume to the lips, or contouring the cheeks or jawline without any invasive surgery or excessive downtime.

Dermal Fillers are commonly used to treat various areas such as on the face or lips, including:
Nasolabial Folds (lines running from sides of nose to the corners of the mouth)
Marionette Lines (lines running from corners of the mouth to the chin)
Lips (add volume or definition, or reduce smoker’s lines)
Cheeks (to contour, or restore age-related volume loss)
Tear Troughs (area under eyes with hollow/dark circles)
Temples (restoring hollow temples)
Jawline (to enhance or sculpt)
Chin (for contouring, or balancing features)
Hands (to reduce visibility of tendons and veins)

After a dermal filler treatment, patients can expect to see immediate results in the treated areas. The results typically last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, the treated area, or individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.
Immediately post-procedure, it’s common to experience some swelling, redness, and mild bruising. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a week, revealing the full results of the treatment. Patients can expect a noticeable improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, volume loss, and facial contours, achieving a more youthful and rejuvenated look!

You should also stay hydrated to promote healing and reduce swelling, and wear sun protection with SPF 30 or higher to protect the skin.

Yes, dermal fillers can be combined with other cosmetic treatments to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation or address multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously. Combining dermal fillers with other treatments can enhance overall results and provide a more balanced and harmonious outcome. Some common treatments that can be combined with dermal fillers include:
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections - can be used in conjuction to address dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle movements, while Dermal Fillers add volume and smooth static wrinkles.
Chemical Peels - addressing both surface imperfections and volume loss for smoother, more radiant skin.
Laser Therapy - to enhance skin texture, firmness, and overall rejuvenation.
Microneedling - in conjunction with dermal Fillers, this can target and improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance absorption of the fillers for more natural-looking results.
