The versatility of dermal fillers

Dermal fillers offer a versatile solution for enhancing facial features and rejuvenating the overall appearance. At True Aesthetics, our range of dermal filler treatments targets various areas of the face to address specific concerns and achieve natural-looking results. Whether it’s adding volume to the cheeks for a more youthful contour, augmenting lips for fuller definition, or smoothing out nasolabial folds and marionette lines, our skilled practitioners tailor each treatment to enhance facial symmetry and harmony. Dermal fillers can also rejuvenate the under-eye area by reducing hollows and dark circles, and define the chin and jawline for a sculpted profile. These treatments provide immediate, noticeable results with minimal downtime, making them a preferred choice for individuals seeking non-surgical facial enhancement. The effects typically last from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, with maintenance treatments ensuring sustained improvements in facial appearance over time.
