Thank you

Response from Mr. Vergel

You may want to explore Sculptra, Radiesse or Silikon 1000 which are available in the US. Since you do not tell me where you live, I cannot help you with local resources. You may want to visit the resource page of facialwasting.org since we have a providers list there generated by patients.
