Dermal injectables Quick Summary
What are Dermal injectables?
Dermal injectables are sugar molecules based on a substance that is produced naturally in our body. When injected into the skin, they instantly add volume to the area and diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles restoring a more youthful visage. There are different types of Dermal injectables available and the areas that can be successfully treated with Dermal injectables include:
- Lines around the nose and the mouth
- Between the eyebrows
- Lips – to add volume and shape
- Cheeks
The injectables are gradually absorbed by the body and require topping up. Depending on the type of injectables chosen they can last anywhere between 6 months and 2 years.
Some types of Dermal injectables are permanent and once used will stay in the tissues forever.
