As we age, our skin undergoes changes, including the loss of essential elements like fat and collagen, which provide volume and support to the face. Additionally, the formation of lines, wrinkles, and folds can contribute to an ageing appearance.
NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS
DERMAL FILLERS
Dermal fillers are formulations that can consist of various substances, some occurring naturally and others synthetic. Among the most commonly used compounds in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally present substance in our skin, serving a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and volume.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
HA Dermal Filler is a sterile gel consisting of non-animal, stabilised hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar chain molecule found in all skin and soft tissues throughout the body, identical across species. Dermal fillers are manufactured, usually through fermentation and cross linking with proteins to produce a clear, sterile gel for injection into the skin.
How Does it Work?
Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are a clear sterile gel in a syringe for injection into the skin providing instant correction. Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration, but also ‘cushioning’ and supporting collagen and elastin fibres and providing a medium, or carrier, for chemical messages between the cells.
