We use hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is produced by the body and present in human skin. This material is now produced in the laboratory and has a proven clinical record of effective treatment with minimal side effects. It is biodegradable product that is naturally absorbed by the body over time. Unlike some other treatments no artificial substances are left to remain under the skins’ surface. This means that the treatments are entirely reversible: they will naturally disappear over a period of months.

We use a range of Q-Med Esthetic products: Restylane®, Restylane Fine Lines®, and Perlane® as well as Hydrafill® from Inamed. Both are Hyaluronic based fillers. They are sold in different quantities so it is possible to closely tailor the treatment to the needs of individual clients without incurring the cost of unused  filler.

MaiLi® and Juvederm® are safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers that restore fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
