Needle-Free Filler
Want more volume in your lips and reduced wrinkles, but don’t want to resort to needles?
This restorative treatment works by using compressed air to project dermal filler through a small opening into the skin, the pressurised air penetrating right down to the dermis for an instant, long-lasting plumping effect.
Using the most advanced technology on the market and shaping your skin according to your own individual requirements, the treatment is gentle and unobtrusive compared to traditional needles.
