Firm and tighten sagging and crepe-like skin with hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers.

This popular facial aesthetics treatment tackles the naturally occurring loss of skin volume that begins to take place once the skin struggles to self-hydrate.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

This volume-enhancing and skin-tightening treatment involves replenishing the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid. When the skin struggles to retain moisture and hydration (usually when we reach our late 20s/early 30s), it begins to show a loss of tightness and firmness, giving way to small fine lines and wrinkles. This can also affect the structure of the face, which can look sunken due to the presence of sagging skin.

Factors such as excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, UV exposure and genetics also contribute to loss of volume and elasticity at various sites across the face.

FAQs

How Do Dermal Fillers Enhance My Skin?

Our dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based. This substance is generated naturally by the body, but as we get older, our bodies find it harder to create hyaluronic acid, which acts as a lubricant supporting tissue and joint integrity.

By administering hyaluronic acid back into the skin at sites where volume loss and moisture loss have occurred, targeted areas of skin will look more youthful, hydrated, tight and radiant.

Which Parts Of The Face Can Dermal Fillers Be Administered?

Dermal fillers can improve the appearance of sagging skin, creases and lines in the following areas:

  • Lips: the corners of the mouth, edges of the lips and cupid’s bow can be treated with filler. The filler can improve the volume and shape of your lips, and reduce small ‘barcode’ lines on the lips.
  • Cheeks: Fillers can augment the cheek area and reintroduce structure to give a more rounded look synonymous with youth.
  • Chin and jawline: these areas can be restructured with filler. The effect of hyaluronic acid can also lift and lower the face region if the skin has started to sag.
  • Temples and brow: the temple area can be hydrated with fillers, reversing the appearance of crepe-like skin in this area (the skin in this area is thin so this is a common concern). The brow region can also be smoothened and given a more hydrated appearance.
  • Undereye: dark circles and hollowness underneath the eyes can be eliminated with fillers.
  • Nasolabial folds: the lines that occur from the side of the nose to the mouth can be smoothened, rendering them less pronounced. This also reduces the shadow that appears as a consequence of nasolabial lines.

How Long Do The Effects Of Dermal Fillers Last For?

You can expect the effects to last for between 6-9 months. The duration of the effects depends on factors like:

  • How your body breaks down the filler.
  • How well you care for your skin after treatment.
  • How often you undergo treatment.

Repeated treatments at 9-month intervals can help to prolong the length of time the fillers have a beneficial effect on your skin.
