What is
Dermal Fillers?
As we age, volume loss can contribute to saggy skin and ageing effects. Dermal Fillers injections are the non-surgical way to boost volume and hydration to your face and lips, restoring a more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are made from a naturally occurring sugar found in your body that gives the skin moisture, volume, and elasticity. Injected in your skin, it can provide volume replacement, enhancement and correction in different parts of the face.

How does it work?
As we age, our face start to deflate, loses volume, and our skin starts to sag and descend. Unlike wrinkles which require muscle relaxants to soften them, volume loss requires dermal fillers to re-volumise the area as well as re-hydrate to help with restoring fullness.
Generally as we age, our bodies start to produce less elastin and collagen in your body, the key ingredients to a youthful appearance. Dermal fillers which is a natural sugar already present in the body, are one of the best ways to restore volume which results in a less tired and more refreshed look.
Treatments
Lips
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance your lips by providing volume. It can also help to correct uneven lips or provide a more balanced lip ratio. This treatment is great if you want a little volume to your lips, define your shape or provide some hydration to your lips and surrounding areas.
Chin
Chin enhancements can balance and add proportion, improve your profile and also define a jawline. It is important that the chin is addressed as a complex that includes blending into the surrounding areas like your jawline. This treatment is great for those with a weak chin that is set back, and looking to balance their face and improve their profile.
Cheeks
Dermal fillers can be used to replace volume in the cheeks or enhance the cheeks for a more defined contoured look. Adding volume to the cheeks can give the appearance of a slimmer face by adding dimension and projection. This treatment is great to indirectly thin out nasolabial folds and jowls and is good if you want to restore the youthful OG curve or have a more defined ponytail cheek.
Jowls
Excess skin and heaviness that is seen on either sides of the mouth tends to be from buccal fat as well as the ageing process when we start to lose volume and our skin starts to descend and sag down. Facial rejuvenation is great to support the surrounding structures to thin out the excess seen in this area.
Jawline Contouring
Jawline contouring using dermal filler can shape, provide symmetry and define a jawline. This is a great treatment for those that want to build a sharper profile, define a weak lower face and thin out excess like double chin or jowls.
Tear Troughs
Tear trough dermal fillers address the area under the eyes, starting from the corners of the eyes and travels down across the mid cheek. Dark under eye circles or looking tired can be due to the shadows created by volume loss. This treatment is great for those that want the eye area to be a little brighter and address volume loss.
Temple
Temple dermal fillers address the indent or volume loss seen in the temple region that often make our heads look like someone has pinched either sides creating a indented peanut shape look. Rejuvenating the temples provide structure to the face giving a smoother transition from the hair line to the eyes. This is a great treatment to provide lift, restore volume and structure to the face to build a foundation for enhancements.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are dermal fillers designed specifically for the skin to hydrate, smooth and improve skins elasticity and firmness. Also known as micro fillers, it is injected into the skin to hydrate and provide a youthful glow. Great for those that want to reduce the appearance of crepey skin or want to boost their skin elasticity and improve skin quality, texture and tone.
