Filling

What is Filler Injection?

Collagen, elastin fibers and hyaluronic acid form an elastic, plump appearance in young skin. As the skin ages, the structure of these substances deteriorates and the amount decreases. Thus, sagging, collapse and wrinkles occur. By using fillers (Face, Lip and Hand Filling), the lost structures are replaced and a younger and healthier appearance is achieved. “Hyaluronic acid” (HA) used as a filler has been used since the 1990s and millions of safe applications have been made all over the world.
