The thickness and longevity of the filler vary depending on the treatment area, lasting anywhere from 4 to 18 months. At Skin by Sarah, we carefully select high-quality fillers during your consultation to ensure the best results. Popular areas for treatment include the cheeks and jawline, which benefit from added shape, definition, and symmetry, restoring a youthful look and minimising the appearance of jowls.
For lip enhancement, different types of fillers are used to achieve natural, well-balanced lips, avoiding overfilling. Our goal is to create soft, hydrated lips that complement your facial features, as lip filler artistry requires an expert eye for detail and proportion.
These versatile fillers are ideal for shaping and defining areas such as the nose, smoothing out lumps and bumps for a balanced, refined appearance.
How It Works
Dermal fillers can effectively treat nose-to-mouth lines (nasolabial folds), providing subtle yet impactful improvements that are difficult for others to notice but can significantly enhance your appearance.
We also offer treatments for the tear trough area, addressing dark circles and giving the eyes a brighter, more awake look. Consultations are necessary for eye treatments, as there are multiple options beyond a standalone tear trough procedure to achieve the best results for you.
