How we approach it

Filler is best when nobody can tell. We use hyaluronic acid products that can be dissolved if needed, place them with cannulas where possible to reduce bruising, and prefer two conservative sessions to one heavy one. Every filler visit starts with a consultation and a look at your face in motion.

Often a good fit for

• Flattened cheeks and under-eye hollows
• A weak chin or soft jawline
• Deep folds beside the nose and mouth
• Restoring balance after weight loss

Things we will discuss first

• Rare but serious vascular complications are why training matters
• Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Active skin infection or cold sores postpone treatment
• Avoid blood thinners and alcohol beforehand where safe
• You must be 18 or older. Results vary, and a consultation is required before any treatment.

The visit

1. Consultation. Complimentary, 30 minutes, with the person who would treat you. You leave with a written plan and total.
2. Treatment. About 45 minutes. Numbing where it helps, photographs with your consent, aftercare in writing.
3. Follow-up. A two-week check for injectables, with adjustments at no charge. Skin and laser series are planned on a calendar with you.
