    4 Reasons Dermal Filler May Fade Faster Than You Expected

    Most facial fillers last somewhere between 6-18 months. If your injector gave you an estimate, but your results seem to be fading faster than you expected, here are some reasons this may be happening. 1.

In this month’s post, we’re taking a thorough look at the Golden Ratio (also referred to as the Divine Proportion) and whether or not it should be used as a benchmark for facial beauty. What is the Golden Ratio? The Golden Ratio is 1: 1.618, and the full equation states that when a line is divided into two parts in a ratio of 1: 1.618,...
