Dermal Fillers Treatments

What are Hyaluronic acid Dermal Fillers?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found in all skin and soft tissues throughout the body, identical across species. It attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration, also ‘cushioning’ and supporting collagen and elastin fibres.
