Bio Filler
Bio Filler Treatments
Treatment and procedure
Plasma Bio Filler is a natural, autologous aesthetic procedure that uses gel derived from your own blood to rejuvenate, restore volume and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Injectable fillers can be used to plump and define thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, remove wrinkles and improve the appearance of recessed scars.
A thorough consultation will take place before any treatment will commence. Once you have decided to go ahead with your selected treatment and are completely happy with your consultation we can book you back in for your treatment.
Prior to the treatment, the area will be cleansed with an antibacterial agent. In addition to cleaning the skin, your aesthetician may administer a topical anesthetic to numb the area. The actual injections only take a few moments per site. The time of the entire procedure varies according to the number of injections required.

How long does it last?
Bio-filler is suitable for both men and women, of a variety of ages. Results are long-lasting and natural, around 4-6 months while the rejuvenation part lasts up to 2 years.
An amazing benefit of this treatment is that it also stimulates the regenerative cells and growth factors that produce collagen which means your skin will continue naturally reproducing itself for months after the injections.
