Filler

The solution is injected into specific muscles of the face using a thin needle containing hyaluronic acid. There may be some tugging or pulling during the process, but that is normal.

After treatment, you’ll notice a more voluminous appearance that will continue to improve for a week or more.

Fillers are a temporary solution. Depending on the product and location, results can last between 6 and 18 months.

The recovery time varies according to the type of filler used and how the patient handles it. Within 24 to 48 hours of filler injection, avoid any strenuous physical activity.
