Lax Skin

Dermal fillers for lax skin

Dermal fillers come in a variety of materials and are used to subtly improve the appearance of the ageing face by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles as well as replacing some of the volume loss that occurs as we lose fat from various parts of our face as we age. They can also be used to correct anatomical variants such as depressed nasal bridges and receding chins, and enhance aspects of a youthful face to create symmetry.

Dermal fillers can be used in areas where anti-wrinkle injections have effectively treated the “active” wrinkles but where resting wrinkles remain. These include the brow, crow’s feet around the eyes, creases around the mouth and nose, and lines around the forehead, lips and jaw. The treatment can also enhance the lips and reshape the chin.
