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.
