Fillers
Fillers
Fillers are used to lift, and plump the face and also to remove lines and wrinkles. Fillers are made of a clear gel called ‘Hyaluronic Acid’, it is found normally in the skin and the quantities naturally reduce as we age. Once injected water binds to it increasing its volume. Replacing it improves the skin’s elasticity and tone. Fillers are broken down naturally, so patients do need further treatments, initially every 6 -9 months, though less filler is generally used for repeat treatments.
