Revive your lips & contour your face with dermal fillers

A blog article about dermal fillers and everything you need to know.

There are a number of different types of dermal fillers available. Some are made from natural ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, while others are synthetic. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body, but it diminishes over time causing skin to lose its firmness and elasticity. This can cause unsightly lines and wrinkles that can be difficult to treat with other anti-aging treatments due to the depth of these wrinkles which require filler injected underneath them in order to restore their appearance back to normal.

What is dermal filler made from?

Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body and is responsible for keeping our skin smooth and plump. When we age, we lose this substance and as a result our skin becomes thinner and more wrinkled. Dermal fillers are cross linked & processed hyaluronic acid that has been purified and turned into a gel that can be injected into your face to help restore volume to your skin, especially when it has lost elasticity due to aging or sun exposure.

What areas can dermal fillers be used on?

Dermal filler can be used on the face, neck and hands. It can also be used to treat hollows under the eyes (cheek augmentation), lines around the mouth (smile lines) and frown lines between the eyebrows.

For those who suffer from facial acne scars, dermal filler can help smooth out these areas while promoting collagen production in the skin. The results may last up to two years or more depending on how quickly your body absorbs it.

How much do dermal fillers cost?

As with any cosmetic treatment, the cost depends on a variety of factors. The area to be treated and the practitioner you choose will determine how much dermal filler costs.

For example, lip augmentation can range from £200 to £350 per session depending on the type of filler used and your choice of practitioner. Facial fillers require more filler and so costs are more expensive at around £350-800 per session.
