Dermal Fillers
What is it?
Lane Cove Aesthetics offers a great range of premium dermal fillers. These fillers are extremely smooth injectable gel-like consistency made from synthesised Hyaluronic acid, with lidocaine which provides anaesthetic for your comfort.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is responsible for keeping skin hydrated. Dermal fillers work to hydrate the skin, replace volume loss and structural changes in the face. Dermal Fillers also stimulate collagen and elastin. Dermal fillers are metabolized and naturally broken down by the body over time.
Common areas of the face to be treated with dermal fillers are:
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Jaw line
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marrionette lines ( downward turn of the mouth)
- Tear troughs (under the eyes)
- Temples
- Frown lines
- Hydration to the back of hands
- Neck lines

Sandika was highly professional when giving her treatments and her space was clean and sterile. She did a great job on the treatments I received and new the boundaries of what was appropriate for my age and skin. Would highly recommend to others and will definitely be coming back for more.
