Facial fillers have become one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments worldwide, and it is easy to see why — they offer immediate, visible results with minimal downtime. Here is everything you need to know before considering treatment.
What Are Facial Fillers?
Modern facial fillers are most commonly made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that occurs naturally in the skin, joints and connective tissue. HA attracts and retains water, providing volume and hydration. When injected into targeted areas of the face, it restores lost volume, softens lines and enhances contours.
What Can Fillers Treat?
- Nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines)
- Marionette lines (mouth-to-chin lines)
- Lip volume and definition
- Cheek and mid-face volume
- Under-eye hollowing (tear troughs)
- Jawline and chin definition
- Temple volume loss
How Long Do They Last?
Depending on the product used and the area treated, HA fillers typically last between 6 and 18 months. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, metabolise filler faster. Fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase at any time if you are unhappy with the results.
