Overview
Fillers are used for facial aesthetic treatments and are injected into the skin. They are designed to effectively reduce the appearance of unwanted wrinkles, contour and create volume. Fillers are based on cross linked hyaluronic acid with HA being naturally found under our skin. Fillers are based on Hyaluronic Acid (HA) which is a substance that naturally exists in your body. Fillers are long-lasting but not permanent. Advantage of HA fillers is that they can be dissolved if deemed necessary.
Feature and Mechanism
Step 1 – Facial assessment & mapping
Our professional aesthetic doctors will evaluate your facial appearance and determine the areas of your face that require filler injection. Strategic points on your face m be marked as the appropriate injection sites for the filler. Photographs may be taken of the areas to be treated.
Step 2 – Cleansing & anesthetizing
The injection sites will be cleansed and numb cream applied over the areas of injection to maximize patient comfort. While not painless, the injections are usually well tolerated.
Step 3 – The injection
Injection usually takes only a few moments per site. The process of injecting, massaging, and evaluating the result is performed, and additional filler added as needed.
Step 4 – Clean up & recovery
Once the results are deemed satisfactory, any markings will be cleansed off. You may be offered an ice pack to reduce swelling and alleviate discomfort. The injected area may feel a bit tender or sore for 1 to 2 days but it is usually not painful enough to require any medication.
