FILLER

Fillers are the injection of gel substance, made up of Hyaluronic Acid, or shortly known as “HA,” to fill in and add volume to the skin. HA helps to retain water and moisture beneath the skin where fillers are injected to restore the volume to the skin cells, increasing the skin’s elasticity, plumping and smoothing the skin, and reducing wrinkles in the process.

Fillers can also fill in areas of deep wrinkles to restore volume to the skin layer and replace collagen to the skin, making the skin appear smoother and more youthful. Fillers can also be used to reshape face structures, including lips, cheeks, and chin, for a thinner and more defined effect.

FIllers come in a variety of brands and can be injected at various sites. To ensure your safety, always make sure to receive fillers from approved brand name fillers, including one with a 100% Hyaluronic Acid, at a licensed clinic with an experienced physician. Injecting the face with liquid silicone or counterfeit fillers, or receiving injections from an unlicensed physician could pose a high risk.

Generally, filler injection results become obvious after the first injection. Its results can last up to 12-18 months, depending on the filler brand used and self-care techniques, as well as the individual's unique skin type.

Fillers are usually injected to correct issues with wrinkles, deep lines, or replace lost volume as we age, in areas like under eye, cheek lines, chin, or lips. Always make sure to choose only a licensed and standardized clinic with an experienced physician.

1.    Visible results after first injection. No recovery time.

2.    Safe and widely accepted. (FDA-approved fillers are safe and do not trigger allergic reaction. Over time, fillers are either completely absorbed by the body or will naturally dissolve themselves.)

3.    Non-invasive. Do not leave scars or wounds.

4.    Injections can be repeated and results fixed. (In case of unsatisfied results, an option to 100% dissolve filler is also available.)

5.    No anesthesia required.

1.    Make-up, concealer, or foundation to cover areas of bruising or redness from the injections are allowed 24 hours after the treatment.

2.    Avoid vigorous exercise that causes heavy sweating and avoid sun exposure that could cause redness at the injection site 48 hours after the treatment.

3.    Do not touch, rub, massage, or manipulate skin at the injection site. This could cause fillers to spread to unwanted areas.

4.    Refrain from drinking and smoking after the treatment.

5.    Drink plenty of water, especially 4 days after the injection. Try to drink 1.5-2 liters of water, or an equivalent of 8-10 glasses of water a day. This can help extend the results and make the fillers look more natural.

6.    Avoid exposure to warm and hot water 2 weeks after the treatment, including exposure to sauna, laser treatment, or steam bath. (Heat from the hair dryer and mild exposure to the sun are acceptable). Resume normal activities 2 weeks after the treatment.
