DERMAL FILLER.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly used in aesthetic medicine and have become increasingly popular for their ability to produce immediate, non-surgical cosmetic improvements.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: These are the most common and include brands like Restylane, teoxane and Revolax. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume.
Common Treatment Areas:
Lips
Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down to the chin)
Cheeks and midface
Jawline and chin
Under-eye hollows
The dermal filler procedure involves injecting a gel-like substance under the skin to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Treatments usually take 30-45 minutes although the treatment itself may take longer as Nova Aesthetics takes an unhurried approach as it is well-established that this improves comfort and lessens the risk of bruising considerably.
