We offer three types of preparations – based on hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, and L-polylactic acid.
 Hyaluronic Acid (i.e. Juvederm) – its main task is to fill the tissue and maintain the level of hydration. 
 Calcium Hydroxyapatite (i.e. Radiesse) – It is a substance naturally found in the body. Calcium hydroxyapatite molecules stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen.
 L-Polylactic Acid (i.e. Sculptra) – naturally occurs in our body. It reproduces and compensates for body fat loss very well and improves the skin’s condition by firming and thickening it.
