Injections of Botox blocks nerve signals to muscle, which then weakens the muscle so it can’t contract. The end result is smoothening of unwanted facial wrinkles.

WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

Dermal filler, or facial filler is used to instantly restore, or add volume, to specific areas of the face to enhance you natural features. Dermal filler is made hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body.

As people age, the face loses its volume, the natural fat pads that give the face shape start to shrink and shift resulting in lost fullness around forehead, eyes, brows, temples and cheeks. As this level decreases, the skin loses firmness and the facial structure softens. Our wrinkles become more prominent, especially around the mouth and nose area, and the volume and definition of our lips decrease. These changes in the face can often give us a tired appearance.

A dermal filler will:

• Restore volume and soften harsh lines
• Hydrate skin and restore its glow
• Boost your body’s collagen production
