What are face fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like injectables that are placed under the skin. Also known as injectable implants, they provide non-surgical procedures to add volume and correct wrinkles. They improve the face contour right after the injections and last for several months. Face Fillers come in four main types based on the main ingredient used in their formulation. Hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) are the substances typically found in the compositions. Depending on your aesthetic concerns, you can opt for any of these options with the help of your healthcare provider.

FAQ
How long do facial fillers last?
Depending on their type, the injection area, and your metabolism, face fillers can last 6 to 24 months. While hyaluronic acid fillers tend to decompose earlier, fillers with collagen-stimulating effects like PLL can even last more than 2 years.
Similarly, areas with more tendency to move wear out the gel faster than less dynamic areas.
Can fillers slim the face?
Not directly. They make an illusion of slimness by volumizing areas that can highlight bones.
How long do facial fillers take to settle?
Most fillers bond with the skin tissue within 4 weeks and show their final results.
What is not allowed after fillers?
Strenuous physical activities, vigorous massage or pressure on the injection site, and sunlight and heat (hot shower) must be prevented for a couple of days. Cosmetic procedures such as facials or laser treatment are not recommended for two weeks after the injections.
