substance is injected beneath the surface of the
skin where it corrects the line or wrinkle by
temporarily plumping or smoothing out the skin
depression.
Which
Areas Can be Treated?
Fillers
can be used to smooth out facial lines, create
fuller lips and shape facial contours such as
cheek and chin.
How Long
Does Improvement Last?
This
depends on the type of fillers used, the areas
treated and ability of the patient’s skin to
absorb materials. Results are long lasting
generally with maintenance treatments performed
after 3-6 months. Occasionally touch –up
treatments are needed sooner.

fillers be used if I had laser or chemical peel?

area is totlally healed and the skin is back to
it s normal condition. This usually takes 4-6
weeks.
