Fillers are volumizing agents.

Our skin undergoes changes that affects it appearance, smoothness and elasticity.  The natural glow we once had starts to fade. 

One reason is the gradual loss of Hyaluronic acid ( HA) a natural sugar in our bodies that attracts water to hydrate the skin and give it elasticity.

​

That is why we use Hyaluronic Acid ( HA ) Fillers.

Dermal Fillers help achieve the following:
