Teoxane is a brand that offers a range of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers designed to add volume, contour, and shape to the lips and various areas of the face. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to maintain hydration and plumpness in the skin.

Teoxane fillers are known for their ability to provide natural-looking results with long-lasting effects. These fillers can help to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, restore lost volume in areas such as the cheeks and temples, and enhance the lips by adding definition, volume, and contour.
