We achieve facial contouring through the use of "HA dermal fillers". HA dermal fillers are a popular option in aesthetic medicine for restoring volume, enhancing contours, and rejuvenating the appearance of the face. These injectable gels, typically made of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, are used to plump up areas that have lost volume due to aging or to enhance facial features. Dermal fillers can smooth wrinkles and fine lines, add volume to the lips, cheeks, and temples, and improve the appearance of under-eye hollows and nasolabial folds. With various formulations available, dermal fillers can be customized to meet individual needs, providing natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

​

  1. Lips:

    • Lip augmentation to enhance volume and definition.

    • Correction of asymmetry or irregularities.

    • Smoothing of vertical lip lines (smoker's lines).

  2. Cheeks:
