Filling Substance

Rejuvenate your face with dermal fillers

     Deep grooves and wrinkles on face are not something that one desires, but they are difficult to avoid as increasing age. Filler injection (Filling Substance) is therefore an important alternative to solve the problems by filling the deep grooves to make them shallower and helping improve skin to look radiant and youthful naturally. 

What is filler injection?  

            Dermal fillers are natural extracts designed to be injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume, improve facial contours, eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. These give your skin a youthful and healthy appearance. Even though there are several types of dermal fillers, classified according to their stability after injection, only the temporary fillers such as Hyaluronic Acid (HA), dissolving naturally in the body with no allergic reactions, have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The effects of the fillers typically last around 9-24 months, depending on the type of fillers. The filler injection can help solve various problems and concerns as follows:

• Thin face, hollow temples and sunken cheeks: Add volume and plump up desired areas.
• Premature aging skin: Fill the gap in skin cells and restore the skin to be firm, smooth, and youthful.
• Square or receding chin: Help contour your chin to a desirable shape.
• Under-eye hollows: Smooth out wrinkles as the filler has a water-holding quality
• Face contouring: Contour your face with no surgery. 

How to choose a right and effective filler injection?

• The filler used must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its serial number can be checked with the manufacturer or importer.
• The filler injection provider should be a certified dermatologist with correct knowledge and techniques and be able to diagnose the injection site and appropriate dosage.
• Choose a hospital or clinic that is reliable and meets international standards. 
• Medical tools and equipment are fully equipped, modern and hygienic. 
• Well prepared with information search and thorough consideration before the injection.
