Dermal Fillers
Let's break down what Dermal Fillers are? Dermal Fillers are natural complex sugars which are found in the second layer of your skin called the Dermis - the technical name for these sugars is Hyaluronic Acid (or HA for short). As we get older and our skin ages with us this natural filler is gradually lost which leaves your skin with a loss of volume, sagging and with wrinkles. At Neo Derm we use a dermal filler made from synthesised hyaluronic acid with lidocaine (local anaesthetic for patient comfort) to help to improve the wrinkle lines and to help to restore the affected areas and to beat the effects of ageing. Our Dermal Fillers add volume back into your skin instantly - helping to rejuvenate and reshape the treated area.
We advise a combination of dermal fillers, anti wrinkle injections and peels, skincare to get the best and most optimal results from your treatment. Used to treat various facial areas cheeks, smile lines, tear troughs, accordion lines, the corners of the mouth, jowls and temples. Please note that this treatment is unsuitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we also cannot use dermal fillers for nose augmentation.
