TREATMENT

Dermal fillers

Non-surgical treatment with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture and adds plumpness to the skin. Restoring lost volume, smoothing out wrinkles, enhancing facial contours, and rejuvenating the skin.

Dermal fillers

The dermal fillers used within Sula Clinic are made up of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a natural substance found in the body (skin, joints and eyes), it retains water, acting like a sponge, and creates a cushioning, lubricated and hydrated environment. In medical aesthetics, HA dermal fillers come in a gel form and are used to restore and enhance facial volume, hydration, firmness and elasticity within the skin. 

Dermal fillers are extremely popular within medical aesthetics as they are non-permanent and non-surgical. HA dermal fillers help reduce the signs of ageing through lifting deep lines and wrinkles and filling out hollow, sunken areas of the face. They can also create symmetry and improve facial expression through lifting specific parts of the face such as; the eye area, cheeks, marionettes and jawline. Dermal fillers are an excellent way to make subtle, natural enhancements, with minimal downtime and lasting results. 

As with all treatments within Sula Clinic, we recognise the importance of patients' unique features and beauty, and listen to desired treatment goals. Therefore, we design tailored treatment plans for each patient to achieve optimal results. We adopt a ‘less is more’ approach and often stage treatment plans across appointments. 

To support, protect and enhance our patients unique beauty we only use the safest, long lasting and best HA dermal fillers, administered by our highly trained and experienced specialist nurse to ensure natural, rejuvenating and effective results.
