What are Fillers?
Fillers, also known as dermal fillers or soft tissue fillers, are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These substances are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, or other biocompatible materials such as calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid. Fillers are commonly used to address signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, hollows, and volume loss in various areas of the face, including the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and under-eye area. During the procedure, the filler is injected beneath the skin to add volume, plump up the skin, and soften wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Fillers are a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment option with little to no downtime, making them a popular choice for individuals looking to enhance their facial appearance without undergoing surgery.
Why Fillers?
Fillers are suitable for individuals who are bothered by signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss in the face and wish to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Ideal candidates for fillers are typically in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure, and are seeking to address specific concerns such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, under-eye hollows, or thin lips. Fillers are often chosen by individuals who desire a quick and convenient solution to improve facial volume and contours without the need for surgery or lengthy downtime. Additionally, fillers can be customized to meet individual needs and preferences, making them suitable for individuals looking for subtle enhancements or more dramatic changes in their facial appearance.
