Injectable Fillers

Fillers are a minimally-invasive and safe way to rewind the clock. Because the results aren’t permanent, you have the freedom to decide whether or not it is the right solution for you without a long-term commitment. For this reason, injectable fillers are a popular first step for those wanting to reverse some of the signs of aging without having surgery.

Facial fillers are designed to smooth lines and wrinkles and restore volume to the face. They work in a different way than injectable botulinum toxins, such as Botox® and Dysport® that work by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles.

What are injectable fillers?

Injectable fillers, often called dermal fillers, are widely available in , and they are the best way to reduce the appearance of facial lines. Facial fillers also work to restore volume in areas of the face where there has been fat loss.

This loss of subcutaneous fat is part of the natural aging process and brings the muscles of the face closer to the surface of the skin, making crow’s feet and smile lines much more apparent. Loss of elasticity adds to lines and wrinkles through stretching of the skin, as well as other factors, such as lifestyle and sun damage.

What Can Be Treated with Injectable Fillers?

Dermal fillers can address a number of concerns, such as: Thin lips; Facial lines and wrinkles; Recessed scars; Dark areas under the eyes.

Benefits of Injectable Fillers

Dermal fillers are minimally-invasive interventions that may mitigate the early signs of aging, and they can be performed alongside other facial rejuvenation procedures. These soft tissue fillers may delay the need for a facelift. 

It is important to remember that dermal fillers are temporary treatments, and you will need routine follow-up injections to maintain the results. There are other surgical procedures that should be considered if you are looking for longer-lasting results, such as a brow lift, eye lift, or facelift.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Injectable Fillers

Pros

  • Hyaluronic acid used in most fillers occurs naturally in our bodies and dissolves over time
  • Minimally-invasive procedure that requires little to no downtime
  • Very few risks or side-effects
  • Quick and relatively painless
  • Results only last for a couple of months - if you don’t like the results, they will fade naturally over time (or can be reversed immediately with hyaluronidase)

Cons

  • Temporary treatment that requires ongoing injections - it can become expensive to maintain the results
  • Not all fillers give the same results - consult with a well-respected doctor before undergoing treatment
  • Some patients experience side effects, including allergic reactions, hard lumps, bruising, and redness
