Dermal Fillers |
 |
Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to plump the lip, wrinkle or fold. Once in your skin, it creates volume, resulting in a healthy and vital appearance. It also causes the skin to retain moisture more effectively.
At SkinFocus we use NASHA (non-animal source hyaluronic acid) dermal fillers for its great safety profile and natural results. NASHA is identical to the hyaluronic acid in our body and therefore confer no risk of allergic reactions. It is completely broken down by the body’s normal biological processes and it is completely removed from the body in time. NASHA has been in the market for over 10 years and more than 1 million safe treatments have been administered worldwide.
Pain has been a major concern for patients who consider receiving this treatment. With the introduction of anaesthetic infused formulae*, now you don’t have to worry about it anymore!
