Nasolabial Filling

What are Filling Applications?

After a certain age, the skin begins to renew itself more slowly. Due to gravity and the skin's difficulty in renewing itself, sagging is inevitable as a result of the skin's inability to adhere to the tissues. In order to prevent the collapse and sagging of the face, the procedures performed with filling materials on certain parts of the face are called fillings.

What are the Filling Materials and Which Methods Are Followed?

Filling is applied with 3 different methods with the same purpose. First, one of the most used materials as a filling material is hyaluronic acid.
