What is Fillers?

As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent.

The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle.

Is it for you?

  • Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers, are injections used to smooth wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and plump up facial features. Fillers can be used to enhance features and correct certain deformities and make the area more youthful and plump. Certain indication that can be enhanced are: 

  • Restore fullness to cheeks, hollow areas under the eyes, and deep creases.
  • Diminish scars.
  • Erase fine lines.
  • Plump lips.
  • Lift the brow or a downturned mouth.
  • Rejuvenate hands.

Steps

  • Injection of fillers: Fillers are injected into targeted areas like the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and shoulders. Each injection takes a couple of minutes.
  • Massaging the area: After injection, gentle massaging ensures even distribution for optimal results.
  • Evaluation of results: Healthcare providers assess effectiveness and may administer additional fillers if needed.
  • Duration: The process lasts 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas treated and need for additional fillers.

Post care

Post-procedure care for body fillers mirrors that of facial dermal fillers. Expect slight tenderness, soreness, bruising, or swelling in the treated area for 48 to 72 hours. During this period, it is recommended to refrain from strenuous exercise, hot steam or saunas, baths, or wearing tight clothing. After a week or two, a follow-up review ensures that everything is shaping up well, and a gentle massage may be necessary to ensure the product settles correctly.

Popular Questions

Do not touch, press, rub or manipulate the injected areas for at least 6 hours after treatment. Avoid vigorous exercise, sun and heat exposure for 2 days post treatment. Avoid the use of Retinol or similar products for 2 days after treatment.
 
So how long does it normally take for dermal fillers to settle? The best results of dermal fillers are seen typically 1 to 2 weeks post treatment with some of the swelling and bruising dissipating by then.
 

The choice of filler is based on the area to be treated, patient characteristics, and the desired effect. Dermal fillers used to smooth wrinkles, which are often thinner, typically last six to twelve months. Deeper injections can last up to a year, and newer dermal fillers can last up to two years
