Hyaluronic Acid-based Fillers

The beauty of this based filler is that hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that already exists in your body, meaning that the results of injecting a hyaluronic acid-based filler into the skin will be natural looking. Skin will appear hydrated, plump, even and healthy.

– It is safe to use on all skin types and skin tones.
– It has antioxidant properties which protect skin from UV damage (not an alternative for SPF).
– It naturally dissolves in the body after 6-12 months, leaving no impurities in the body.
– A local numbing cream can be applied during the treatment to minimise discomfort.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite-based Fillers

Radiesse is an injectable filler highly recommended for face and hand rejuvenation. A gel-like, latex-free soft tissue filler is naturally found in human bones and is a mineral-like compound. Calcium Hydroxylapatite-based fillers provide a youthful appearance regardless of where injected.

Polymethylmethacrylate-based Fillers
