Injectable Fillers

Soft tissue fillers are injectable gels used to temporarily ‘fill in’ lines and wrinkles, and restore lost volume.

A few well-placed injections can help erase years from your face and most people will never know you’ve had any help.

Various fillers (e.g. Restylane®, JUVÉDERM® Perlane®) are available and your aesthetic doctor will help choose the best one for you.

The procedure is quick. It usually takes less than 30 minutes. The benefits can be seen immediately.
