What are Facial Fillers
Facial fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers, are non-surgical cosmetic procedures that involve injecting substances into the skin to enhance facial contours, restore volume, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. These fillers are typically made of substances like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid.
How they Work
Facial fillers work by replenishing lost volume in the face and stimulating collagen production. When injected into specific areas, they add fullness and smooth out wrinkles and folds. The filler material binds with water molecules in the skin, providing hydration and further enhancing the plumping effect.
What they Treat
Facial fillers are used to address various cosmetic concerns, including:
Wrinkles and fine lines: Fillers can soften the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, and vertical lip lines.
Volume loss: As we age, the face naturally loses fat and volume, resulting in a sunken or hollowed appearance. Fillers can restore volume to areas such as cheeks, temples, under the eyes, and the jawline.
Lip enhancement: Fillers can add volume, shape, and definition to thin or asymmetrical lips, creating a more youthful and balanced appearance.
Scar correction: Certain fillers can help improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other depressions or indentations on the face.
Non-surgical nose correction: By strategically injecting fillers, the shape of the nose can be altered without the need for surgery. This technique can help smooth bumps or humps, refine the nasal tip, or straighten the nose’s appearance.
