Fillers - Doctor Finesse

THE AGEING PROCESS

When we are young our skin has natural hydration, as we grow older this hydration dries out, which makes our skin look dull and wrinkled. We can use creams which will temporarily moisturise the skin but cannot maintain the deep hydration needed to give us back the elasticity and healthy glow we had when we were younger.

WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal fillers are injectable products that soften and correct lines, wrinkles and folds in the skin. In addition, they are commonly used to augment and enhance the lips, cheeks and facial contours.
