WHAT IS DERMAL FILLER?

• ​Dermal fillers are a soft injectable gel, comprised of hyaluronic acid.

​

• Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule which our skin cells naturally produce, attracting water, keeping the skin hydrated.

​

• Dermal fillers consist of stabilized, non-animal hyaluronic acid. The gel is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that exists naturally in the body.

​

• By injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin it boosts the supply, holding onto water creating a plump appearance. Filler holds 1000 times it’s own weight in water.

​

• While results are seen instantly, it actually takes around 2 weeks for the hyaluronic acid in your filler to settle into your dermal tissues and begin to interact with the water in your skin.

​

• Dermal fillers are not permanent, the gel can last in our bodies for 6-18 months.

​

• The results are reversible. By injecting an enzymne called 'hyaluronidase'. This works by breaking down hyaluronic acid.​
