What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable products commonly used to restore volume, enhance facial contours and improve the appearance of certain facial lines.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are widely used in aesthetic treatments because hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body.

Our foundation course focuses on three commonly requested treatment areas:

• Lip Enhancement: Understanding lip anatomy, proportions, volume and definition.

• Nasolabial Folds: Assessment of the lines running between the nose and corners of the mouth.

• Marionette Lines: Assessment of lines extending downwards from the corners of the mouth.

Students learn about individual patient suitability, realistic outcomes, safe treatment planning and the importance of recognising complications.
