Fillers
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles and enhance facial features. Most are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin that keeps it hydrated and plump.
Common treatment areas:
Smile lines (Nasolabial Folds)
Marionette lines (Mouth to chin)
Cheeks & Cheekbones
Lips
