Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic treatment used to address facial volume loss, wrinkles, and fine lines. They are commonly employed in aesthetic procedures to enhance facial contours, address areas of concern and restore a more youthful/ refreshed appearance.
I only use hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers, which contain a high level of hyaluronic acid, which attracts and retains water, giving skin its elasticity, providing hydration and volume. Some advantages of HA fillers include:
Reversibility
Biodegradable
Naturally occurring and immunologically compatible
Excellent safety profile
Dermal fillers are used to soften wrinkles and folds, particularly in areas such as the nasolabial folds (lines around the nose and mouth), marionette lines, and lip lines.​
They are also employed to enhance facial features, such as cheekbones and lips, and to address volume loss in areas like the temples and under-eye hollows, making skin look plumper and more youthful.
At the Devon Aesthetic Clinic, only the highest quality CE approved fillers are used and purchased from aesthetic pharmacies.
