WHAT TO EXPECT
At your first consultation, we will discuss the results you want to achieve. The facial filler treatment entails a series of tiny injections under the skin’s surface. The amount administered depends on the depth and size of the skin defect or wrinkle. The appointment will take approximately 30 minutes and results are instant. There is likely to be some swelling and bruising after the appointment, so we advise not making your appointment on the week of an important event.
