Dermal Fillers | Milton Keynes
As we age our skin loses collagen and fat, causing it to sag and wrinkle. Dermal fillers replace this lost volume by adding structural support to sagging skin, lifting the skin and giving a youthful look.
What causes volume loss?
Volume is lost through the loss of bone density, shrinkage and shifting of fat pads, loosening of ligaments and hormonal changes. These factors cause the skin to sag, creating hollows in the cheeks and under the eyes, resulting in a less youthful appearance.
How do dermal fillers work?
The most common type of dermal filler is made of a gel like substance called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is also naturally found in the body, however, the levels naturally decline with age, dropping by roughly 2% annually and reducing by half by the age of 50.
Dermal fillers hold on to water, which keeps the skin hydrated and plump. The results are usually visible immediately after the treatment.
Here at MKSkin clinic, Milton Keynes, we offer a variety of dermal fillers to revolumize and support areas of fat loss. The revolumizing & contouring technique requires dermal fillers to be injected into strategic anatomical landmarks of the face to replace the lost volume and provide additional support to the facial tissue, minimizing the effects of facial ageing for a rejuvenated, youthful look.
