What are Facial Fillers?
Facial fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments that can add volume to specific areas or soften the appearance of certain folds and lines. They are sometimes considered to address volume loss that can occur over time. Fillers should only be administered by a suitably qualified clinician after a proper assessment.
Results are temporary and vary between individuals. A clinician will discuss whether treatment is appropriate and realistic for you.

Who Might Consider Fillers?
Facial fillers may be considered by adults in good general health who wish to address volume loss or refine certain contours and who have realistic expectations. They are not suitable for everyone, and a full medical history is important.
A qualified clinician will assess your suitability before any treatment.
