Fillers, or dermal fillers, are a non-surgical, non-invasive injectable treatment, designed to add volume to the skin.
Dermal fillers can be injected into the skin in order to plump it up resulting in a younger, healthier look.

Anti-ageing treatment, replenishing lost volume by reducing the visibility of wrinkles and smoothing out deeper creases or facial hollows e.g. nose to mouth lines, hollow cheeks
-

How do fillers work?
Our collagen stocks diminish as we age, and this is why wrinkles, folds and creases begin to emerge. In general, dermal fillers work to plump up the skin to effectively reduce the visibility of wrinkles and reshape facial contours.
They work by replenishing the levels of hyaluronic acid in the dermis layer of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance which is found naturally in the dermis of the skin. It has incredible water retention properties and therefore can add volume to the skin in a very safe and effective way which mimics how the hyaluronic acid found naturally within the skin works.
Who is suitable for dermal fillers?I will not treat patients under the age of 18 for dermal fillers. Otherwise, dermal fillers are an extraordinarily versatile treatment for men and women of all ages and ethnicities.
