Fillers are a type of minimally invasive aesthetic medicine used to add volume, alter the contours of the face, and fill in wrinkles. Common areas to inject fillers are in the face, neck, and hands, resulting in a fuller, smoother and more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are among the most popular aesthetic procedures because they carry immediate results, very few risks and little recovery time.Filler injections can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the eyes, forehead, mouth, and nose. By adding volume to the skin, fillers help smooth out these age-related creases, resulting in a more youthful appearance.Thin or asymmetrical lips can be enhanced with filler injections to achieve a fuller, more balanced look. Filler treatment can also define the lip borders and improve the overall shape of the lips, creating a natural and subtle enhancement.
When to Consider Fillers
If you have deep lines around the eyes, brow or mouth.
If you would like to change the contours of your jaw or lips.
If you are interested in a minimally invasive procedure.
Fillers are administered with a syringe to various areas on the face and head, including around the eyes, along the jaw, around the lips and in the forehead. The number, location and depth of the injections depend largely on the type of dermal fillers used and the desired results. Some fillers contain a local anesthetic like lidocaine to enhance comfort during injection. Numbing cream may also be used.
There are three types of fillers commonly used: temporary, semi-permanent, and permanent. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are temporary, while other types of fillers offer longer-lasting results.
