Dermal filler is a sterile gel consisting of non-animal, stabilised hyaluronic acid and a local anaesthetic called lidocaine. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar chain molecule, naturally occurring in the skin and throughout the body. The sterile gel is injected into the skin to correct facial lines, wrinkles and folds, for lip enhancement, for shaping facial contours including chin, cheeks, jawline and the nose and for skin rejuvenation.
