Dermal fillers are gel substances that can be injected into the skin with the purpose of restoring lost volume, to soften and fill lines and folds, contour the cheeks and jawline and rejuvenate and augment the lips. The dermal fillers used by Aly contain a naturally occurring substance (hyaluronic acid) which is found within our skin and connective tissue.

These dermal fillers are biocompatible and as a result, non-allergenic and low risk. Dermal fillers are very hydrophilic meaning they hold onto a lot of water and although they break down over time when injected into the skin, they can maintain their volume and shape due to their high-water content.

​

The longevity of dermal fillers varies. As we age, intrinsic factors such as loss of subcutaneous fat, change in the structure of bones, gravity and loss of elastin and collagen can result in deep lines, saggy skin and areas of hollowing over the face. This combined with external factors such as sun damage and dynamic wrinkles can further cause changes in the once full and supple face. Dermal fillers can thus be used to restore this lost volume, contour the shape of the face and enhance facial features naturally.
