“I had been noticing a volume loss in my face for a few years. It was slowly getting worse. After a consult at Nexus, we decided that a PRP treatment combined with fillers would be the best choice. And, what a great decision! The PRP made that area look amazing. They took their time and literally sculpted my face. The results are awesome!“
