What causes lines and wrinkles?
In our twenties and thirties, the skin slows production of collagen and elastin causing our skin to become thinner and the fat layer, muscles and even bone that supports the skin to decline. Gradually, the thinner skin begins to sag causing wrinkles and eventually jowls along the jawline emerge. Skin thinning also causes under eye hollows and dark under eye circles and thinning lips and lip lines. While creams and serums provide temporary hydration, dermal fillers offer one treatment that will last for up to 12 months.
Why should I consider dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can help to maintain smoother, tighter skin so new lines and wrinkles don’t form and so that skin does not sag and drop. Left untreated, instead of smoothing and tightening the skin you may need to invest in a non surgical facelift where dermal fillers are placed in the cheeks to lift and along the jawline to add lost definition. Your advanced nurse Stephanie specializes in skin rejuvenation and will recommend the right treatment for your personal circumstances to maintain youthful looking skin.
