Dermal Filler
At Nurse Lizzie we provide natural and safe dermal filler treatments in and around the Cumbria area.
Overview
Dermal fillers have a wide range of uses such as the restoration of lost volume, to sculpt contours of the face or to define lips. As skin ages collagen, elastin and fat pads all reduce. These provide structure to your face and act as a scaffold for skin. Additionally, ageing skin becomes thinner and more lined further contributing to the loss of volume and the appearance of sagging skin. Strategically placed fillers can replace the lost volume and can smooth out lines and wrinkles resulting in a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers also can be used in younger age group who wish to add volume to lips or define the contours of their face.
