lips and cheeks. Injectabe fillerscan be used for deep smile
lines, nasolabial furrows (lines running from the nose to
the mouth), crows feet, smoker's lines (perioral lines),
frown lines, marionette lines (lines that "drag down"
the corners of the mouth), facial scars, acne scars and
cheek depressions.
Does the treatment hurt?

minimal pain associated with the injection. No local anaesthetic
is required and you can resume normal activities immediately.

permanent, temporary. Temporary injectable fillers can last

Allergic reaction can be a risk with some fillers. To help
determine if you are allergic to the substance,the doctor
will perform an allergy skin test about a month before the
procedure. After the test is performed, the test site should
be watched carefully for three or four weeks.

open sores, skin peeling, scarring and lumpiness, which
