Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are a gel made from hyaluronic acid, a substance your skin already contains. Placed carefully, they replace lost volume or add gentle structure. The goal is balance, never a different face.

Questions about dermal fillers

Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if ever needed.

We work in small amounts and build gradually. You can always add more later; natural is the default.
