Macrolane™ VRF is the first series of products on the market that makes it possible to shape the body without surgery. When Macrolane is injected, the gel can enlarge breasts, create volume and smooth out defects on the body. The advantages of the treatment are immediate and long-lasting, without being permanent. The hyaluronic acid in Macrolane is similar to that of the body and is therefore broken down naturally.
