This is only a selection of possible risks and complications that may arise.

Fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid and collagen form a powerful duo that preserves the skin's layers and structure, contributing to healthy and supple skin. Hyaluronic acid also plays an important role in wound healing and reducing inflammation in the skin.

Good filler products used correctly by qualified professionals are generally safe, but as with all medical treatments, there are risks.

Fillers usually last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler and treatment area.

Yes, fillers can be removed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. As this treatment also has risks, filler treatment should be undertaken after careful consideration.

No, fillers restore volume and smooth lines by filling out the skin, while Botox causes muscles to relax, leading to reduced wrinkles.

Most fillers are not permanent and are therefore naturally broken down by the body over time. The use of permanent fillers is riskier and can lead to serious complications. At E´Peau, no permanent filler products are used.

Please arrive at your booked treatment time without makeup. After a short consultation, your therapist will take before photos. The treatment begins with skin cleansing and possible anesthesia, followed by injection with either a fine, sharp needle or a rounded cannula, depending on the treatment area. The injection itself only takes a few minutes, but expect the entire visit to take 30-45 minutes, including preparation and aftercare.

The choice of filler depends on the treatment area and desired result; a qualified specialist can recommend the best option.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are popular for lips for their natural feel and appearance. At the clinic, Restylane Kysse is primarily used for the lips.

Licensed healthcare professionals (nurse, dentist or doctor) with relevant further training and certification may perform fillers.

No, the treatment is not performed on pregnant women due to insufficient research on safety for the fetus.

The cost of fillers varies with the amount, choice of product and the skill level of the therapist. You can see the starting prices at E´Peau in the price list above. For more detailed pricing information, a consultation is recommended.

Refills are usually recommended every 4 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler and individual factors.

No, due to a lack of research, treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

It is best to wait until you are completely healthy to avoid increased risk of complications or infections.

Choose a qualified practitioner, make sure you are well informed and understand the possible risks/side effects, and have realistic expectations of the outcome.

There is no scientific evidence to support that fillers are carcinogenic.
