Non-Surgical Treatments

Dermal fillers are products that are placed into the skin or lips to give a filling effect and can be used to treat everything from lines and wrinkles, to depressed scars. They can also enhance cheekbones, enlarge lips or smooth the contour of an uneven nose. 

As we age, overactive muscle movement gradually wears away the healthy cells that keep the skin plump, causing it to crease and wrinkles to appear. Sun exposure, smoking and the breakdown of supporting structures (such as elastin fibres) also contribute to wrinkles. 

Lip enhancement creates fuller, plumper lips and reduces fine wrinkles around the mouth. Lips may be injected with natural proteins or a semi-permanent dermal filler. The benefit of a dermal filler over natural proteins is that the proteins are eventually absorbed by the body and repeat treatments are necessary to maintain results.
