What is Dermal Filler?

How do HA fillers work? Injections of HA into the skin are thought to replenish its natural support structures damaged by ageing. Dermal fillers are commonly used for filling in facial wrinkles (STATIC LINES) and hollows, restoring facial volume to areas such as the cheeks, tear troughs, lower face and for lip augmentation. The final result ill depend on the amount of the volume of filler used and whether it is enough to adequately address your concerns.
Over time HA is naturally degraded in the human body. The effect of HA can last from 6-24 months, depend on the type of HA used. Follow up treatments are needed to maintain the effects of HA.
