Dermal fillers are pharmaceutical-grade gel injectables designed to restore volume, provide lift, smooth out wrinkles and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the safest and most popular. They are biodegradable, reversible, and hydrate the skin by retaining moisture. They are non-animal derived and integrate seamlessly with the skin.
HA fillers are safe when administered by experienced medical professionals. They are made in sterile lab environments, are vegan-friendly, and can be dissolved easily with hyaluronidase in case of overfilling or complications. This makes them a safer option compared to non-HA fillers.
All treatments are performed by GMC-registered doctors only.
