Wrinkle filler in Southport

What is wrinkle filler?

Wrinkle filler uses a soft hyaluronic acid filler placed directly under deeper lines and folds to smooth them. It's most often used for nose-to-mouth lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines that run down from the corners of the mouth, and deeper lines that are visible even when your face is at rest.

It works differently from anti-wrinkle treatment, which relaxes the muscles behind expression lines. Filler fills and supports lines that have become etched into the skin. Sometimes supporting the cheeks gives a better result than filling the line itself, and we'll advise you at your consultation.
