Fillers
Dermal fillers have become very popular, due to their safe and effective profile. They can be used alongside Botox in the treatment of facial lines, furrows and wrinkles. The fillers are gel-like substances that serve to fill the furrowed areas that need plumping up, thus producing a more fuller, youthful appearance. The most common sites in which fillers are effective are in the lower face such as the lips, nasolabial folds (the creases that run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth) and marionette lines (the creases that run from the corner of the mouth to the chin).
Dermal filler is injected directly into the skin just below the area of treatment. The result is instant with a noticeable reduction in the appearance of the line being treated. Dermal fillers are non-permanent and biodegradable, being gradually replaced by water before disappearing totally from the body. Fillers typically last for between 6 and 9 months.

Nasolabial
This is the skin crease that runs from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth. It is the most frequently treated area using dermal filler. Significant yet subtle results can be easily achieved, creating a fresher look to the face.
Try yourself in the mirror: the effect of treatment can to some extent be mimicked by placing a finger on the cheek bone beneath the eye and lifting the skin gently upwards and outwards until the nasolabial line is softened or removed to the desired amount.

Lower face, marionette lines & chin
Creases from the edge of the mouth to the chin, sometimes referred to as marionette lines can be easily softened using dermal fillers. Try for yourself in the mirror: the effect of treatment can to some extent be mimicked by placing a finger outside the skin crease on the cheek above the jaw line, then lifting the skin gently upwards and outwards until the line is removed to the desired amount.

Lips
Dermal fillers can be used very effectively on the lips to achieve a variety of results. Lip margins can be given more definition or volume can be increased (very small amounts of dermal filler can be used to achieve a fuller look without a producing pouting). Very fine lines on the edge of the lips, also known as lipstick lines, can also be removed.
