Face Fillers
-
Facial fillers are one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments available today. They are injectable substances used to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, contour facial features, and enhance overall balance in the face. Whether you’re looking to fill under-eye hollows, lift your cheeks, sharpen your jawline, or subtly enhance your lips, fillers offer a versatile and minimally invasive solution with little to no downtime. Different types of fillers suit different purposes, and the choice of product should depend on your unique anatomy, aesthetic goals, and how long you want the effects to last.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (HA Fillers)
These are the most common types of fillers used worldwide. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts water and adds hydration and volume to the skin.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers (Radiesse)
A thicker, longer-lasting filler ideal for deep folds and facial contouring.
Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers (Sculptra)
A biostimulatory filler that works gradually by stimulating your body to produce collagen over time.
Polymethylmethacrylate Fillers (Bellafill)
A semi-permanent filler used for long-lasting results in deep lines and scars.

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil for at least 5 days before treatment to minimize bruising
Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before treatment
Inform your practitioner if you have a history of cold sores, especially for lip fillers
Do not wear makeup to your appointment if possible
Have a clear idea of the areas you want treated and discuss thoroughly with your injector
For Sculptra, you may need more than one session spaced a few weeks apart

Mild swelling, redness, and bruising are common and usually subside within a few days
Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the area for at least 24–48 hours (unless instructed to massage, as in the case of Sculptra)
Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first night
Avoid intense exercise, heat (saunas, hot yoga), and alcohol for 48 hours
Do not get facials, skin lasers, or dental work for 1–2 weeks post-filler
Results are typically visible immediately for HA fillers, but full settling may take 1–2 weeks
Follow-up touch-ups or additional syringes may be required for optimal results
For biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra, effects will build over time
