Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are an extremely popular treatment in replacing lost volume and elasticity giving the skin a plumper, more youthful look. Dermal fillers are great non-surgical treatment option used to contour and shape areas of the face defining cheek bones and creating strong jaw lines.

Dermal fillers are made with a high level of hyaluronic acid, also known as HA.

HA naturally occurs in our bodies and helps us to maintain healthy skin, however as we get older we naturally product less which results in the growth of wrinkles and ageing lines. HA is ideal as it retains water and helps to instantly improve the skins surface, reducing wrinkles and making your skin look and feel smoother.

Longevity of HA is not permanent and is reversible and can last from 6-18 months depending area of face and product used. At SKIN Finesse Clinic a variety of premium brands of Dermal Fillers are used ranging from Juvéderm, Teoxane and Restylane Brands.
