Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in our bodies and is responsible for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. As we age, our bodies produce less of this substance, leading to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, jowling, loss of facial volume, symmetry,
increasing pore size and prominence of old scars like acne scars.

Dermal fillers work by restoring the lost hyaluronic acid to the skin, adding volume, and improving the skin's hydration levels. This results in a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. The treatment is performed by a licensed medical professional and takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the extent of the treatment.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are suitable for men and women looking to rejuvenate their skin and improve the appearance of aging signs.

However, it is important to note that the treatment is not recommended for those with certain medical conditions, such as skin infections, allergies, autoimmune conditions and mental health concerns like body dysmorphia. It is also illegal to treat under 18s with dermal fillers in the UK.

It is important to have a consultation with a licensed medical professional before undergoing the treatment to ensure that you are a suitable candidate and to discuss any potential risks and side effects.
