How the treatment works
- 1
Personalised medical consultation
Dr. Miegge assesses facial morphology and skin quality and discusses expected results with the patient, defining a personalised treatment plan.
- 2
Mapping of the areas to treat
Specific treatment zones are identified. Facial symmetry is assessed and the amount and type of filler best suited to each area is planned.
- 3
Application of anaesthetic cream
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the areas to be treated for around 20–30 minutes, minimising discomfort during the injections.
- 4
Injection with needle or cannula
The filler is injected using a microbolus, linear or fanning technique depending on the area. Using a cannula reduces the risk of bruising and ensures a more even result.
- 5
Shaping and symmetry assessment
After the injections, the doctor manually shapes the product to achieve a harmonious result. Symmetry is checked with the face both at rest and in motion.
- 6
Follow-up photos and post-treatment instructions
Follow-up photos are taken and instructions are provided for the following 24–48 hours: avoid intense heat, strenuous physical activity and massage in the treated areas.

Results are immediately visible after the session. In the first few days there may be slight swelling that resolves within 48–72 hours. The final result settles after about 2 weeks, once the product has absorbed water and integrated into the tissue.
