Facial Fillers

Facial Fillers are Botox injections which use hyaluronic acid to plump the face in order to give it a more youthful look.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body, particularly in the:

  • Eyes

  • Joints

Its primary function is to act as a lubricant, contributing to smooth movement and hydration. In a laboratory setting, hyaluronic acid can be derived from:

  • A patient’s own body

  • Rooster combs

  • Bacteria cultures

Cosmetic Applications of Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is widely used in cosmetic procedures to restore a more youthful appearance. Common fillers include:

  • HylaForm

  • Restylane

  • Juvederm: This FDA-approved filler is the longest-lasting, maintaining results for up to a year without supplementary injections.

The Procedure

  • Preparation: A local anesthetic is administered to minimize discomfort.

  • Injection: The hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the targeted areas to achieve the desired aesthetic effect.

Important Considerations

  • Most fillers are not permanent and may require reapplication every 3–12 months depending on the material used.

  • A licensed doctor or dentist can provide personalized advice about:

    • The best material for the patient’s needs.

    • Targeted injection locations.

    • Expected outcomes of the procedure.
