Injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) is a type of temporary dermal filler. It is found naturally throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in the joints, eyes, and skin.

As we age, volume loss occurs in the face, which leads to a sunken or sagging appearance- fine lines, wrinkles, skin folds, and thin lips.

Injectable HA is used to restore volume loss to support vitality and reduce the signs of aging. This creates a beautiful harmony in relation to the structure, and contour of the face.

HA Dermal filler can also be used to enhance your features, this is called “beautification”.

Dermal Filler Treatment Areas

Nasolabial Folds | Nasolabial folds are the lines between bottom of nose & corners of mouth. Filler is administered to these areas to add volume and lift the skin. It will also smooth wrinkles out and reduce heavy crease lines

Marionette Lines | Marionette lines are the facial folds between corners of your mouth & chin. The use of filler in this area creates volume and helps move the corners of the mouth forward, smoothing lines and creating a more upwards turned mouth corner.

Jawline and Chin | Chin and jawline enhancement can work to reduce the appearance of fat pads, often a result of ageing or genetics the double chin. It can help create a strong and projected bone structure which can help improve the appearance of a short chin, a recessive chin as well as define the jawline.

Cheeks | Filler is administered above and around your cheeks, this can give you a more defined bone structure. It also works to help smooth wrinkles and plump sagging skin that are a result of loss of elasticity.

Pre-Treatment Tips for Dermal Fillers 

  1. Time Your Appointment: If you have a big event coming up, schedule your dermal filler treatment with enough time in between to allow for any potential bruising or swelling to subside. 
  2. Exercise Before Treatment: Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after your treatment. It's a good idea to get your workout in beforehand so you can relax post-treatment. 
  3. Get Plenty of Rest: Ensure you’re well-rested the night before your treatment. Reducing stress will help you feel more relaxed and present during the procedure—this is your time to unwind! 
  4. Relax & Enjoy: It’s natural to feel a little nervous before your dermal filler treatment, but rest assured that you’re in safe hands. Feel free to ask any questions before or during your session to feel completely comfortable 
  5. Avoid alcohol post treatment.  

How Does it Work?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that use a substance called hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body.  

As we age, the natural thinning of muscles, fat, bone, and skin leads to a loss of volume and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are injected into targeted areas of the face to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours, leaving the skin looking more youthful and hydrated 

Our qualified Registered Nurses carry out dermal filler treatments with precision and care. The procedure involves a quick injection process that delivers volume to the targeted area, resulting in an instant plumping effect. Once injected, the filler immediately enhances the skin, smoothing out deep lines, folds, and wrinkles, while restoring volume to areas that have lost fullness over time. This provides a refreshed, youthful appearance with natural-looking results.
