Fillers are my favorite. I love fillers because I consider them a type of art that we sculpt with the features of the face, and use to hide the signs of aging, correct the sagging of skin or plump any fat loss areas.
Fractional as well, because it is one of the Joker machines that has many uses and impressive results. It has a great power in stimulating collagen and getting fresh skin with fewer wrinkles. In addition to getting rid of superficial pigmentation. It is used to remove skin tags and treat the effects of wounds and burns.
Last but not least comes Botox. Botox has an important role in ttt facial dynamic wrinkles, reduces muscle spasm like masseter & migraine muscles and also ttt of hyperhidrosis.
