Dermal and Facial Fillers are medical devices that are injected into the skin to smooth facial wrinkles and depressions, restoring a natural and more youthful appearance. The effect of dermal fillers is temporary as they use Hyaluronic acid which is broken down naturally and eventually absorbed by the body. Depending on the area and depth of the wrinkles being treated, some people may need more than one injection to achieve the desired results.
Most dermal fillers last at least six months or longer, but the success of the treatment is reliant on a number factors including the skill of the healthcare professional, the health of the skin, and the type of filler used. Healthxchange Pharmacy only offers genuine quality products from leading manufacturers to qualified healthcare professions.
