Dermal fillers are injectable treatments which are used on the face to smooth out lines and wrinkles, replace volume and add definition. As such, they are popular with people seeking to rejuvenate ageing or tired skin. Dermal fillers such as those in the Juvederm® range contain the active ingredient hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally-occurring substance in our skin which, along with elastin and collagen, reduces over time leading to skin which appears wrinkled and saggy.

Historically, fillers were used to soften characteristic lines of ageing, such as the nasolabial folds (so-called ‘laugh lines’) and marionette lines. This has largely been overtaken by targeted injections into fat pockets to produce natural lift and definition, with the practitioner assessing the face as a whole to achieve the best cosmetic outcome.Facial dermal filler injections are effective in treating a number of areas such as eyebrows, tear troughs, cheeks, chin and jawline.
