Dermal Fillers

What are dermal fillers?

 

Dermal fillers are injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gels that restore lost volume, smooth facial lines, and enhance structure. Unlike bio-stimulators, fillers are designed to add volume and lift rather than repair skin at a cellular level.

 

​

 

Products we use

 

We use licensed, CE-marked dermal fillers such as Juvederm®, Teosyal®, and Restylane®, selected according to the treatment area and patient anatomy. Correct handling and precise injection technique are essential for predictable and safe results.

 

​

 

How it works (brief science)

 

Hyaluronic acid binds water in the dermis, restoring volume and hydration. Depending on the product, depth, and placement, fillers can:

• Smooth wrinkles and folds

• Lift cheeks, jawline, and chin

• Enhance lips

• Improve facial symmetry and definition

 

Results are visible immediately, with full settling after a few days.

 

​

 

Who is a good candidate?

• Adults experiencing volume loss, sagging, or deep lines

• Individuals seeking natural enhancement without surgery

• Not suitable if pregnant, breastfeeding, or with active infection at injection sites
