What are Filler Injections? What to Know Before Getting Injections
Filler Injections
What are Filler Injections?
Filler injections involve injecting a filling substance, specifically Hyaluronic Acid (HA), also known as “HA Filler.” It is a synthetic substance created to be nearly identical to the hyaluronic acid that naturally exists in the human body.
What do Filler Injections help with?
Fillers help to fill or plump up the skin, addressing various skin problems such as deep wrinkles, sunken under-eye areas, or hollow cheeks. They are also used for adjusting the facial structure to create better proportions, for example, in the chin, lips, or temples.
Are Filler Injections dangerous?
Because Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a substance that mimics what is naturally in the human body, it is highly safe. It can naturally dissolve on its own over time, causing no harm or residue. Therefore, filler injections are not dangerous.
Which areas show clear improvements after filler injections?
- Under-Eye Filler: Helps solve problems of sunken, hollow, or dark under-eyes, making the face look brighter and less tired.
- Lip Filler: For plumping lips or adjusting lip shape. Suitable for those with thin lips, undefined lip shape, or dry, chapped lips.
- Chin Filler: Helps adjust the facial structure for those with short or recessed chins, making the face look more balanced and V-shaped.
- Mid-Face Filler: Addresses hollow or sunken cheeks, which can make the face look aged. This lifts the face and makes it look more youthful.
- Temple Filler: Fills in sunken temples to create a more balanced and smooth facial contour.
- Forehead Filler: Creates a fuller, smoother forehead with better proportions.
- Nasolabial Folds / Marionette Lines: Fills in deep lines to make the face appear younger.
Which filler brands are good and FDA-approved in Thailand?
Currently, there are many filler brands that have passed FDA approval in Thailand. The popular brands used in leading clinics include:
- Juvederm: A filler from America, known for its Vycross technology which helps in lifting. It has a smooth texture, blends well with the skin, and provides natural-looking results.
- Restylane: A filler from Sweden, known for its NASHA and OBT technologies. It has various models to choose from, providing clear results.
- Belotero: A filler from Switzerland, known for its CPM technology which results in a smooth texture that is ideal for filling and hydrating the skin.
How many days until the filler settles? How many days of swelling?
After a filler injection, there might be slight swelling or redness at the injection site, which is normal. This swelling will gradually decrease within 2-3 days. The filler will start to settle and integrate with the skin, becoming fully set and showing clear results within 2-4 weeks.
