What are facial dermal fillers ?
Dermal filler is an injectable soft gel consisting of stabilized non-animal hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar naturally found in the skin and is responsible for holding water keeping the skin hydrated and plump.
As part of the natural ageing process, there is a loss of bone mass, muscle tone and thinning of the skin which can give the face a drooping appearance causing the forehead, nose and mouth to appear more pronounced.
Dermal filler works by boosting the skins supply of hyaluronic acid revitalizing and
adding volume to the skin diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles giving a more youthful, softer look.
CHEEK FILLER
Dermal filler injected into the cheeks produces a youthful curve to the cheeks lifting the cheekbones creating the illusion of a more defined bone structure. By injecting volume under the skin, cheek fillers can also help to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
This treatment is ideal if you have low or barely visible cheek bones or would like to enhance the structure of the face.

This is a popular treatment amongst men and women. A relatively firm hyaluronic acid based dermal filler is used to improve jaw definition.
In men, the filler is strategically injected to create more a more masculine, wider jawline and in women, filler is utilized to elongate the face softening the jaw line.

TEAR TROUGH AND TEMPLES
Tear trough treatment involves the injection of a relatively low consistency dermal filler under the eyes using a cannula for added safety. The hyaluronic acid based filler boosts collagen production and replaces volume lost under the eyes brought about by the ageing process.
Changes in soft tissues and skeletal structures as a result of the natural ageing process can result in concavity under the eye area creating hollow depressions and flattening of the cheeks contributing to a ‘tired look’. Dermal filler for tear troughs can help replenish volume under the eyes and as a result reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
As you age, there is fat loss in the temple area leading to a ‘hollow’ look in the absence of natural volume. Dermal filler can be injected into the temples of the face to fill these hollows and restore volume to the temples and brow area giving the face a fuller more youthful look.
