dermal fillers

Sonya, Stella and Maddie have been extensively trained and have more than 40 years experience in using dermal fillers to correct fine and deep lines in the face. A plethora of completely satisfied patients are testament to the Appearance Medicine team’s artist eye and ability to rejuvenate the appearance without over correcting. Sonya, Stella and Maddie are truly artists when it comes to using dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation.

How does it work?

A dermal (skin) filler is a gel which is carefully injected beneath the skin’s surface to diminish the depth of facial folds and wrinkles, and provides definition and volume to lips. The injectable gel acts as a skin “filler” to gently restore structure and volume to the skin. Dermal fillers are used to softly enhance your lips or to smooth out facial wrinkles and folds, and provides a natural look and feel.

Most dermal fillers are made from a natural complex sugar called Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is found naturally within the tissues of living cells, including human skin. HA assists in skin hydration by attracting and holding water and also combines with collagen and elastin to provides skin structure and elasticity. In its natural form, HA is a single chain sugar, which is naturally metabolised (broken down) by the body within days. It is important that a dermal filler is not metabolised by your body quickly, so that the results last for as long as possible. To achieve this, HA is cross-linked, a process by which individual sugar chains are linked together to form a kind of mesh which takes the body much longer to metabolise.

Unlike BOTOX®, which treats dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkle-forming facial expressions, dermal fillers are placed below the skin’s surface to literally ‘fill in’ or ‘plump up’ the static wrinkles and folds that are present at rest.

How many treatments?

Dermal fillers are used to diminish the depth of wrinkles and create a smoother, more refreshed facial appearance that should last for at least 4 to 12 months.
