As we age our own natural hyaluronic acid diminishes. Treatment with dermal filler uses a manufactured hyaluronic acid which the skin does not recognize as a foreign body, to volumise deep lines or areas of volume loss such as cheeks. The hyaluronic acid that we use has been extensively tested, FDA approved, involves no animals in its production and therefore carries a minimal risk of allergic reaction. Over time lip fillers and dermal fillers are gradually broken down by the body and excreted along with our own hyaluronic acid. The treated areas gradually return to their pre-treatment state with results usually lasting 6-12 months. Our Bournemouth team specialise in lip fillers and will be happy to advise you on the recommended procedure.
