Dermal fillers mainly contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which is naturally found in the skin.

They can plump and hydrate the skin, due to the HA's tendency to attract water. This can create volume and definition as styled, dependent upon the technique and your desired outcome as a client.

Treatments such as lip fillers can last up to 12 months, before starting to fade as they gradually get broken down and removed by the body.

If fillers have become fatigued or hardened with age, or a previous treatment has not been satisfying, an elective dissolving of the filler by hyaluronidase, can be chosen to try to remove unwanted product and start afresh.
