WHAT IS FILLER?
Filler, often called dermal filler or soft tissue filler, is a gel-like substance that is injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, soften creases, or enhance facial contours. It is one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments because it offers immediate results with minimal downtime
