In the United Kingdom, injectable dermal fillers are registered as devices and are not prescribable medicines. They provide volume to smooth lessen the appearance of wrinkles.

Dermal fillers can be made from a variety of materials, one of which is hyaluronic acid. These HA fillers provide immediate volume, and also draw more water in to the area to continue providing volume for several months. This is a reversible procedure which will naturally be degraded with time.

Areas that can be treated:

Smile lines: also called the nasolabial folds, are the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth

Marionette lines: the lines that run downward from the corners of the mouth

Corners of the mouth: also called the oral commissure, if these are turned downward it can make you look as though you’re frowning

Smokers lines: thin lines from the top lips.

Chin wrinkles: horizontal lines that can form on your chin
