Accepted Answer

At Veritas, we carry more than 10 different types of different hyaluronic acid-based fillers as each type can differ in viscosity and are suited for different areas. Softer fillers are used for areas such as lip enhancement, necklines, and upper eyelids. Harder fillers or PCL-based collagen stimulator should be chosen for areas such as sunken forehead, temples and cheeks. Areas such as the undereye may require a combination of different types of fillers and collagen stimulators for the best result, so it is important to ensure the clinic is well-equipped with a wide range of options in order to receive the most suitable treatment.
