What is Filler?
Fillers, also known as dermal fillers or soft tissue fillers, are injectable substances used in cosmetic and medical procedures to add volume, plump up the skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and facial lines. These substances are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, or other biocompatible materials. When injected into targeted areas, fillers can smooth out wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and restore lost volume, creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollows. The procedure is relatively quick, with minimal discomfort, and results are often immediately visible. Fillers are considered a non-surgical alternative to facelifts and other invasive procedures, providing temporary but long-lasting effects. Like any cosmetic treatment, it is essential to have fillers administered by a qualified medical professional to ensure safety and achieve the desired results.
How Does it Work?
Fillers work by injecting a gel-like substance, typically composed of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, into specific areas of the face or body. The filler adds volume and plumps up the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, as well as enhancing facial contours. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, helping to maintain skin hydration and firmness. The injected material integrates with the surrounding tissues, providing a natural-looking result. The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, with little to no downtime. Over time, the body gradually absorbs the filler, making the effects temporary, usually lasting from several months to a year, depending on the type of filler used.
