Not all dermal filler is about creating volume.
Sometimes, it’s about restoring smoothness to an area where fine lines have started to settle into the skin.
As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen, elasticity and some of its natural support. Combined with years of everyday facial movements, this can cause lines to remain visible even when our face is completely relaxed.
This is where carefully placed dermal filler can make a difference.
For this client, I used small amounts of dermal filler directly within the lines around her mouth, with the aim of softening their appearance rather than changing the shape or fullness of the area.
The skin around the mouth is constantly moving, so my approach is to use small amounts of filler to gently soften these lines while keeping the area looking and feeling natural.
We’re not trying to erase every line or create perfectly smooth skin. Just a subtle improvement that still looks like you. 🤍
If you have fine lines that are becoming more noticeable at rest, we can discuss whether dermal filler may be an appropriate option for you during a consultation.
