What is Filling Application?
Filler application is an injection method used to fill wrinkles on the face, eliminate volume loss and improve facial shape. This application compensates for volume loss that occurs with aging and provides a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
Unlike botox, filler application treats static wrinkles (lines independent of muscle movement) and has a volume-increasing effect. In this way, the face looks fuller and younger.
