I recently traveled to Amsterdam to learn The Fern Technique from its developer Dr. Tom Van Eijk. This technique uses hyaluronic acid dermal filler (Restylane) to address lines, wrinkles, and folds that occur from skin weakness. As we mature, our skin weakens from damage caused by the sun, sleep, and habitual movements. When filler is placed superficially in the skin in a fern pattern, we strengthen the weakened skin and soften associated lines and wrinkles.
