Your questions answered
Questions, answered.
Are polynucleotides the same as filler?
They are generally discussed for skin quality rather than facial contouring. The ingredients and intended use of the selected product still need to be considered.
Can I have treatment around my eyes?
Suitability depends on the product, your anatomy and assessment. Marie will explain whether the area is appropriate within her practice.
How many appointments will I need?
That depends on the formulation and your plan. Marie will discuss the proposed course and review points before you commit.
