Facial lines

Certain facial lines, especially deeper ones that develop around the midddle and lower part of the face, can give features suggestive of premature ageing. Not everyone with these features requires treatment such as a face-lift. There are a number of injectable fillers which are used to improve the appearance of these wrinkles. Materials commonly used are collagen, fat, Goretex, and other substances. Treatment is usually carried out in an outpatient setting and no time off work is usually required. Some treatments such as collagen require a test dose to be given.
