Dermal Fillers Treatment

Go gorgeous and still go easy on your pockets. Here's an easy way to get a dazzling look.

Why skin ages

With increasing age, the hyaluronic acid (HA) content in the skin decreases, reducing its capacity to stay moist and supple. In addition to this, oil producing glands become less active, making the skin dry. Overtime, skin also loses fat and as a result, its youthful glow and smoothness get diminished.

How skin looks as you get older

At 25 – Visible skin aging begins; old cells in the skin get replaced more slowly.

At 30 – More fine lines develop due to a breakdown in collagen and elastin; delicate skin under the eyes begins to thin.

At 40 – Deeper lines begin to etch around the mouth and eyes; furrows appear on the forehead, and circles under the eyes may grow into pouches. Skin becomes noticeably drier.

At 45+ – The skin becomes thinner, partly because of hormonal changes; it loses much of its strength and elasticity.

At 50+ – Age starts to show on your face.

About Dermal Fillers

Fillers contain HA which is a form of natural sugar that our body produces routinely. HA fillers are the most preferred form of dermal fillers due to their efficacy and safety quotient.
