The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is, unsurprisingly, the most common sign of ageing. Lines appear as a result of active muscles in the face combined with loss of elasticity. Wrinkles are classified into two types: dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles appear when you make a facial expression, whereas static wrinkles are visible when you are at rest. Wrinkles are caused not only by ageing skin, but also by prolonged sun exposure, diet, stress, hormone changes, smoking, and other lifestyle factors that prematurely age your appearance.

The skin naturally loses volume and elasticity as we age, resulting in folds and sagging. These are usually in the most expressive parts of your face, such as around your nose and mouth. This volume loss is caused by a decrease in Hyaluronic acid and Collagen. Dermal fillers are injectable gels that soften or plump facial lines by replenishing hyaluronic acid.

Dermal filler can also be used to help with reshaping and contouring by stabilising and lifting areas of laxity.

Restylane and Juvederm are products that closely resemble our own Hyaluronic Acid, making them safe and natural-looking. Over the next 6-12 months, your body will gradually and evenly dissolve these temporary fillers.
