Cheeks – To restore volume to the midface and recreate youthful contours, we can use dermal fillers. Thick cross-linked hyaluronic acid injections can be placed directly above the cheekbones and moulded to define natural cheekbone structure.
3
Barcode Lines- The vertical lines are reduced and the volume is more harmonious after dermal filler, which also give the upper lip a nice shape, though the lip itself has not been directly treated.
4
Tired Eyes – Our tired eyes treatment uses targeted injections of dermal filler in the tear trough to brighten and widen your eyes. The filler sits directly under your skin, plumping the thinning areas to help create less of an impression or hollow.
5
Sad Mouth Corners – Marionette lines (corner of the mouth) are long vertical wrinkles that traverse from the corners of the lips to the chin. It is possible to lift these corners with dermal filler by adding volume and anchoring the corners higher up.
6
Chin and Jawline – An under formed or weak chin can be genetic and can pitch into a patient’s overall confidence. Dermal Filler can be used on the chin to stiffen the skin and define the chin and jowl area, lessening the weakness of a weak chin. Chin filler can lengthen and enhance ones lower facial appearance creating a more balanced profile.
7
Lips – Lip augmentation is an aesthetic procedure that can give you fuller, plumper lips. These days, an injectable dermal filler is the most commonly used method of lip augmentation.
8
Nose – Rhinoplasty is a treatment that changes the shape of the nose. Sometimes known as a liquid nose job.
