DERMAL FILLERS

Buccal cheeks
As you age you lose an amount of subcutaneous fat which can result in a loss of volume and elasticity
to the face. This in turn highlights hollow cheek bones, and the presence of excess skin resulting in sunken cheeks. This can cause someone to appear gaunt and tired-looking. Dermal fillers can be injected into this area to plump out the face with natural volume and a gentle lift.
The four major structural components of our face are skin, fat, muscle, and bone. As we age, volume loss in these structures
contributes to many of the visible signs of aging. Dermal fillers may help. Over time, age-related bone loss in the face can lead to retraction of the jawline, descent of the nose, and loss of high cheekbones. The facial muscles also decrease in volume and elasticity and deflation and movement of facial fat further accentuates the signs of aging. Finally, the skin stretches and loses elasticity, compounded by the loss of scaffolding provided by fat, muscle, and bone, this leads to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other familiar signs of aging. Dermal fillers, an injectable treatment can help smooth lines and replenish lost volume, restoring a more youthful appearance.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are soft, gel-like substances that are injected under the skin. They can address a number of common concerns, from loss of volume and sagging skin to fine lines and wrinkles. They can also be moulded and shaped to create or restore natrual contours. Filllers are used to restore fat pads or support bone structures, they range in viscosity and are chosen to suit the individuals issue or desired outcome. Dermal fillers can be composed of a variety of substances, some naturally occurring and some synthetic. One of the most common compounds used in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring substance found in our skin, and it plays a major role in keeping skin hydrated and plumped and lifted.
Lips & vermillion border
The lips can be injected with dermal filler either in the body of the lip to boost fullness or the border of the lips to increase definition. This treatment is ideal for correcting thin lips but can also help solve problems with a downward smile and the need to lengthen the mouth.
What areas can Dermal Fillers be used?
Marionette lines
Marionette lines run between the corners of the lips down towards the chin and jaw giving a puppet-like effect. As we age, our facial bones become smaller resulting in lines like these appearing. Dermal filler is great for filling in these lines making them less prominent.
Mouth corners (oral commissures)
Sometimes the corners of your mouth can droop leaving you looking unhappy. Dermal filler can be placed below the corners of the mouth with a small amount directly into the
corners of the lips.
Nasolabial folds
Commonly known as the smile or laughter lines, these are the two skin folds that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. If you are bothered by your nasolabial folds and wonder what to do to improve the area then filler is perfect to fill out these folds, and partnered with cheek filler the face will appear much younger looking.
Smoker’s lines
These are the vertical lines above the lip that appear when you pout. They are mostly caused by regular lip movements but are also called smokers lines, because regular smoking means pressing the lips together.
Chin augmentation
A perfect alternative to a surgical chin implant, is a non-surgical chin augmentation which is achieved with dermal fillers. Chin filler will help balance your profile for a more
pleasing appearance and disguise jowling. It's perfect to pair with jawline filler
Cheeks
Cheek fillers are injections that raise the volume of the area above and around your cheekbones. This provides the illusion of a more defined bone structure. By injecting volume under your skin layer, cheek fillers can also smooth out wrinkles and fine lines around the eye area.
Nose
Dermal fillers can be used to straighten out any lumps or bumps in your nose. Fillers are injected into the nose to smooth out slight bumps in the bridge of the nose, or rectify a crooked line of the nose (particularly in profile view) and even cartilage irregularities at the tip of the nose.
Tear troughs
These are the lines under your eyes that make your eyes look tired. A loss of volume in the area, a loss of tissue elasticity or a mild reduction in bone density could all be causes of concern. By using an advanced technique, dermal fillers can be placed in either the tear trough itself, slightly lower in the cheek area, or indeed a combination of both to achieve brighter, more rejuvenated eyes.
HA fillers, depending on their specific chemical makeup, can last from six months to much longer before being gradually absorbed by the body. One of the main benefits of HA fillers, aside from their natural appearance when injected, is that they can be dissolved by a special solution in case of an adverse event, or if the person dislikes the appearance. Also, most HA fillers are premixed with lidocaine, a numbing agent, to maximize comfort during treatment.

Of all the cosmetic treatments out there, fillers are probably the most misunderstood.
Horror stories of overfilled, toddler-plump cheeks and bodge-job lips continue to give it a bad rap. In short, fillers are substances injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume and fullness. In the right hands, it's not about changing the face or exaggerating facial features to
unnatural proportions, it's about putting back what was once already there. This produces a more natural look, creates structural support, subtly elevates volume loos and can even add 'barely detectable' plumping to your lips.
Jaw and jawline
A well-defined jawline and chin can enhance facial balance and attractiveness. Dermal fillers can sculpt and contour these areas, providing a more defined and structured profile, further highlighting the benefits of dermal filler.
