Collagen depletion, changes in bone structure and fat distribution occur with the advancement of age, causing changes in facial features, causing our skin to sag and wrinkle. This is where dermal fillers come into play.
Hyaluronic acid is a key molecule in our skin, which helps to maintain our skin’s turgor, resilience and elasticity due to its high water content. Dermal fillers are made of pure hyaluronic acid and functions to help our skin retain moisture, restore facial volume and contour. It is also used to enhance features and to achieve facial harmony.
At Luna Clinic, we only use reputable fillers made of pure hyaluronic acid which is safe and well tolerated, different from traditional permanent fillers which have a track record of adverse reactions and complications.
