It’s only natural. Lines and wrinkles, particularly around the face and neck, develop as we get older. To combat these signs of aging, millions of men and women every year opt for tried, tested and clinically effective Botox or dermal filler treatments to temporarily conceal dynamic wrinkles or expression lines.

Dermal fillers are popular treatments for wrinkles and facial lines such as:

• The frown lines.
• Peri-oral lines (fine lines at the around the lips).
• Smile lines around the eyes.
• Acne scars/pits.

Dermal fillers are also used to shape and define facial structures such as the:

• Lips.
• Cheeks.
• Jowls.
• The Nose.

What are dermal fillers?

Whereas Botox is used to conceal wrinkles that result from a facial expression, dermal fillers reduce the visibility of wrinkles that can be seen on a rested (or expressionless) face.

How do dermal fillers work?

Dermal fillers comprise of a collagen material that is injected into the skin’s dermis layer. This reduces lines and wrinkles, particularly around the cheeks, nose, and lips, by replacing the skin’s levels of hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers are commonly used for the following treatments:

• To increase the volume and size of lips.
• To fill in lines around the nasolabial folds (the lines that stretch from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
• To add definition to weak or sunken cheeks.
• To remove scars – including those caused by acne.
• To conceal unsightly veins.

Are dermal fillers effective immediately and are the effects permanent?

The effects of dermal fillers are immediate, however, post-treatment swelling may take a few days to subside.
