Comprehensive Facial Contouring with Filler Injection

What is Filler Injection?

Filler injection is an aesthetic procedure performed internally. The filler substance is injected under the skin to conceal wrinkles, restore facial contours, and even improve facial flaws, thereby counteracting signs of aging for a more youthful appearance and facial slimming.

The beautification process with filler injection is completed within half an hour, and recovery time is very fast. The beautification results can be observed immediately and last for several months or even years, depending on the injection site and the quality of the filler substance.

What does filler injection do?

Both collagen and HA are components related to the skin, both of which help maintain skin youthfulness and health.

Collagen acts as a kind of adhesive, ensuring that all cell tissues stick tightly together and serves as a building block for muscles such as bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Other parts such as blood vessels, mucous membranes, and teeth also contain collagen. However, over time as the body ages, it loses collagen. In particular, when the skin loses collagen, it becomes thinner, less elastic, and begins to sag.

HA can hold a lot of water molecules around it, which helps keep the skin supple and shiny. When the skin is dry and loses water, it becomes wrinkled, wrinkled, and HA in the dermis also regenerates. FDA has approved HA as the primary component of fillers to inject into volume deficiencies to rejuvenate the face. 

Who can choose to have filler injections?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that suitable candidates for filler injections are individuals aged 22 and older who have the following needs:

1. Improve moderate to severe facial wrinkles.

2. Enhance volume in lips, cheeks, chin, under-eye hollows, jawline, and hands.

3. Correct acne scars on the cheeks.

4. Fill in sunken areas.

The process of filler injection typically involves the following steps:

Step 1:

Facial assessment and marking injection points

A dermatologist or cosmetic dermatologist evaluates the face and skin tone of the client, marking specific points where filler injections are needed to enhance volume.

Step 2:

Makeup removal, disinfection, and anesthesia

The injection sites are cleansed with an antibacterial solution. To minimize discomfort, the doctor may apply numbing cream, use ice to cool the injection site, or administer local anesthesia.

Step 3:

Filler injection

At each marked site, filler injection takes only a few minutes. The doctor injects filler beneath the skin, massages the area, evaluates the result, and adds more filler if necessary. Depending on the number of areas treated, the entire process can typically be completed in 15 to 30 minutes.

Step 4:

Recovery

After filler injection, applying an ice pack can reduce swelling and discomfort without the need for medication.
