Dermal fillers are a popular alternative to cosmetic surgery and involve injecting a gel-based substance, either by needle or cannula, into the superficial or deep fat layer of the skin.
As we age, the face naturally loses volume, which can affect facial structure and symmetry. Strategically placed dermal fillers can be used to enhance facial features in these areas.
In our clinic we use Stylage and Belotero hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that blends and integrates seamlessly with your own naturally occurring hyaluronic acid within skin cells.
Treatment sessions last anywhere between 40 minutes to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area and patient factors such as tolerance and comfort during the procedure.

Dermal filler dissolving may be necessary if there’s an uneven or overfilled appearance or the results aren’t as expected .
It’s a simple process using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers safely.
Dermal filler dissolving is often done before re-treatment to ensure the best possible foundation for new filler.
