What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are designed to add volume, lift and symmetry to your face, giving you a refreshed and natural appearance. Most popularly used to plump lips and enhance the check bones, dermal fillers are a versatile treatment that can also be used to correct fine lines, smooth deep creases, restore volume and even reshape the chin and jawline. One of the most popular advantages to dermal fillers is that the results are instant – in just 30 minutes, you will be on your way to looking like the best possible version of you.  

What dermal fillers can do?

Different types of dermal fillers are designed to treat varying signs of aging. Depending on the filler selected, they can:

* Plump up thin lips
* Soften facial creases and wrinkles
* Improve the appearance of recessed scars
* Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
* Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids
* enhance or fill in shallow areas on the face

Why is this needed? 
Well, as we get older our bodies stop producing collagen and elastin, both of which contribute to the youthful look.  Experts argue over when we start losing collagen; but the generally agreed age is 25. Which is pretty young, right? Your collagen and elastin levels then decline at a rate of about 2% per year, and you rbody will have stopped producing it altogether by your late twenties.Fillers have been used for decades to restore lost volume or add lift.

How do they work?

The aesthetic gel-based filler is based on a naturally occurring bodily substance, a sugar molecule. The function of this molecule is to bind water and act as a lubricant and shock absorbers in the parts of your body that are movable, as well as transporting nutrients and regulating your skin’s water balance. Dermal fillers revitalise and add volume to the treated area instantly by boosting this naturally occurring substance.

Fillers basically restore lost volume to your face and plump areas, so that deep set lines are smoothed. 

Hong long do the results last?

How long the effects of dermal fillers will last depends on the product, the area of treatment, and the patient. Generally speaking, the denser the product is and the more deeply it is injected, the longer it will last. These will typically last from 6 to 18 months. Injections to the lips will wear out a little faster than those to the nasolabial folds.
