Dermal filler treatments address permanent wrinkles and visible volume loss around the face. Well placed dermal fillers provide volume where there are deficits and help with your skin’s elasticity and resilience. This provides a natural lift and softening of wrinkles which has the effect of improving your overall appearance. They may also be used to treat asymmetries (uneven faces or uneven facial features) and can restore a balanced look to your appearance.
Dermal filler injections are used to treat permanent or ‘static’ lines of the face. Static lines are those you see when your face is still. If you notice wrinkles when making a straight face, then these are likely static lines that have formed due to movement over time.
Common static lines include:
Nasolabial Folds | The lines from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth. |
Marionette Lines | The lines from the corner of the mouth tracking down to the chin. |
Oral Commissures | The lines at the corner of the lips and the edge of the mouth. |
Smokers Lines | The fine lines above the top lip that are a result of smoking. |
