Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid gels that are injected into the desired area to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance features. This minimally invasive procedure provides immediate, natural-looking results that hydrate and plump from within.
Which Areas can be treated?
Lips (for plumpness and definition), nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines), marionette lines (mouth-to-chin), smoker's lines (around mouth), cheeks (volume restoration), chin/jawline (contouring), under-eyes (tear troughs), nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty), and hands.
Who is the Treatment Ideally for?
Adults 20+ with volume loss, lines, or asymmetry; those wanting subtle enhancement or preventive ageing. Great for first-timers seeking hydration (lips) or structure (jaw/chin). All genders and skin types.
Downtime
Minimal – swelling/bruising lasts 1–3 days. Resume normal activities immediately, but avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Arnica cream can be used to treat bruising.
What to Expect during the Treatment
A 30–45 minute session with numbing cream for comfort. I use fine needles or cannulas to inject precisely. You’ll see results instantly, with a mirror check midway to adjust.
What to Expect after the Treatment
Immediate plumpness; any swelling peaks at 24 hours and resolves quickly. Final results in 1–2 weeks, lasting 6–18 months depending on area. Minor bruising may occur, however will fade in a few days.
Things you should / should not do prior to Treatment

Don't: Take blood-thinners (aspirin, fish oil) 48 hours before; avoid alcohol 24 hours prior; no facials or peels 2 weeks before. No dental work 2 weeks before/after.
Contraindications
