As we age our skin loses volume and elasticity. In addition, there may be a gradual depletion of fat around the eyes, cheeks and forehead. This process occurs because natural substances such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid which provide the skin with structure and volume decrease with age.

Dermal fillers are a smooth gel based on our body’s own natural skin components. They are injected just below the skin surface to plump up facial wrinkles, folds and hollows. When overdone, dermal fillers can look obvious. When done subtly, dermal fillers can create a natural and refreshed appearance. Dermal fillers are easily reversed using an injectable enzyme.

At Erase, all dermal fillers are injected by highly experienced and fully trained medical practitioners. Some of the options are as follows:

• Cheek definition
• Nose shaping
• Nasolabial lines
• Marionette lines/Jowls
• Tear troughs
• Brow droop
• Vertical lip lines
• Lip border and Volume

How long will it last?
The results are instant and most people resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. The results can last from 9 – 18 months.

Are there any side effects?
Most experience none, however any side effects are generally temporary and should resolve in a few days. Sometimes bruising can result so please let the consulting doctor know if you take blood thinning agents such as aspirin or warfarin, or if you take steroids for asthma or other inflammatory conditions.
