Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid placed to restore structure and hydration, in proportion to your features.
Overview
As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, the facial muscles work closer to the skin surface and the skin loses elasticity and moisture — smile lines, crow's feet and other signs of ageing become apparent. Dermal fillers restore volume and enhance facial contours with hyaluronic acid, keeping the skin plump and hydrated. We work in small, staged amounts and review before adding more.
