Fillers
Fillers are gel-like, hyaluronic acid-based injectables that augment the face, restore facial volume loss, and help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
What are fillers for?
Fillers have 2 major benefits — facial contouring and volume restoration.
Facial volume loss is one of the main results of skin aging. As we age, our face loses collagen, elastin, and fat. This causes the sagging of the cheeks, appearance of facial folds around the mouth, fine lines around the eyes and wrinkles on the forehead.
Fillers augment and revitalize the form and structure of these areas, resulting in a contoured, young-looking face. Fillers are also used to enhance and define facial areas such as the lips, chin, nose, forehead, and temples. Fillers can be used with BTX treatment to target laugh lines around the mouth, reduce creases between the eyebrows, and define the jawline for a V-shaped face.
