Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can enhance your natural appearance.

Dermal fillers help diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our face naturally loses fat. Consequently, the facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface. Therefore, smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. In addition, the facial skin loses elasticity, causing the skin to sag. Thus, the face appears deflated.

• How long does it last?

On the other hand, areas that have less movement such as the cheeks, will last longer. On average, fillers last about 6 months. However, some can last up to 2 years.
