Going back to basics and visiting one of the backbones of the medical aesthetics sector, Alexandra Mills Haq details important information on dermal fillers
The G’ prime of a filler is extremely important when assessing its physical property in terms of projection and lifting capacity
Since the emergence of ageing baby boomers, the influx of dermal fillers has been an exponential one.
