Dermal Fillers
We use a number of Haluronic acid fillers. These are part of a group collectively known as dermal Fillers. As these products are identical to natural substances in the body it means they are completely natural and safe.
Facial line smoothing
Haluronic acid fillers are used to fill out or plump up lines on your face that have been created by the loss of elasticity in the skin as you age. By restoring the volume to these areas your skin will look smoother and softer, resulting in a fresher and more youthful appearance.
Nasolabial line smoothing
Tear Trough
The Tear Trough is a hollow just below the eye socket and the upper cheek. It becomes more apparent as the skin loses volume in the mid face, resulting in a tired look.
Lip enhancement
Lips that are soft and full help create a beaming smile and a more confident appearance.
