Filler treatment begins with a targeted assessment of the relevant areas of the face. Appropriate changes depend on anatomy, skin, tissue and any underlying conditions. Fillers cannot treat every wrinkle or swelling.
Personal consultation and planning
Only an in-person medical examination can establish which treatment may be suitable. The consultation covers your goals, alternatives, risks and the next steps.
Preparation includes discussing your medical history, medication and previous procedures. The treating clinician, actual treatment location and follow-up arrangements are clarified before any firm agreement is made.
