As we age, it is common for the lower area of our face to droop, resulting in a tired and sad appearance. Fortunately, dermal fillers can provide a solution.

By injecting the appropriate type and amount of dermal filler into the specific areas of the face, we can effectively mask the visible signs of aging. The filler is composed of a safe and natural substance known as hyaluronic acid gel, which occurs naturally in our bodies.

Our skilled injectors can help you regain lost volume and restore a more natural, youthful appearance. You can expect a fresher, revitalized look that enhances your features and boosts your confidence.

You’ll notice the results immediately, however, it can take up to four weeks to see the final results as the filler fully settles.

Side effects will vary from person to person. Reactions are usually very minimal, though, you can expect a little swelling and this is due to our own bodies natural immune response which is completely normal. As with all injectable cosmetic treatments. There will always be a risk of bruising. For the majority of patients bruising is minimal. On rare occasions it might take up to a week. So, factor this in when you book your treatment.
