Alison ColvilleHost
So the first time I heard the term rheology was a few years ago now at ACE conference in London.
And they said, and of course, we choose this filler specifically because it has the right rheology for this area of the face.
I was very much in my expansive stage of wanting to really understand that next level of depths about aesthetics and practicing.
And filler is something that I love it's something that I found really creative and interesting and I was just wanting to go that one step further than oh I've just been taught on a course this is a technique or the technique to do this area and then your brand that you have chosen to work with And often you don't know why you've chosen that brand.
Maybe you got used to it because it was a brand that a clinic that you work for just used.
So you get to a certain point in your aesthetics career where you have built up a little bit more experience with filler now, and you know when it's a good result.
