How To Care For Your Dermal Lip Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injections used to correct fine lines and surface irregularities on the face. The most common treatments are correcting nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip augmentation, wrinkle reduction around eyes etc. They are made up of Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body.
What is the purpose of Dermal fillers?
The treatment uses Hyaluronic acid, which can attract and retain water. This ensures fewer lines, wrinkles or other signs of aging on your face. The treatment also fills up minor fine lines, thereby reducing their appearance. Moreover, it provides volume to the lips, making them look more natural and attractive.
