What is Dermal Filler and How is it Applied?
Facial filler is the injection of hyaluronic acid-based gels, which meet the skin's moisture and elasticity needs, under the skin using fine-tipped needles or cannulas. Through this procedure:
- Lips can be made more voluminous,
- Cheekbones can be accentuated,
- Deepening expression lines can be softened.
The procedure takes an average of 15-30 minutes. Before the application, local anesthetic creams are used to ensure the person's comfort and minimize the sensation of pain.
Which Areas Can It Be Applied To?
With planning tailored to facial anatomy, aesthetic improvement is targeted in many different areas:
- Lip Filler: Adding volume and defining contours.
- Nose Filler: Camouflaging small non-surgical bumps.
- Jawline Filler: Defining the oval of the face.
- Under-Eye Light Filler: Eliminating hollowness and a tired expression.
- Nasolabial Filler: Filling the lines descending from the nose to the mouth.
How Long Does It Last?
The longevity of fillers varies depending on the density of the material used, the application area, and the individual's metabolic rate. An effect duration of 6 to 18 months is generally observed. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance absorbed by the body over time, repeating the procedure at certain intervals may be recommended to maintain the appearance.
Why is Hyaluronic Acid Preferred?
Natural and Safe Ingredient
Hyaluronic acid is a component naturally found in the human body that helps the skin retain moisture. The most important reason for its preference as a filler is its high biocompatibility and extremely low risk of allergy. This reduces the risk of post-procedure complications and gives the skin a more vibrant appearance.
Who Is It Suitable For?
It is suitable for adults over 18 who are experiencing volume loss in their face, have asymmetry issues, or want to soften signs of aging. However, it is not applied to individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an active skin infection. Sharing your current health status with your doctor is essential for a safe process.
Things to Consider After the Application
You can return to daily life immediately after the procedure; however, the following points should be considered for the first 24 hours:
- The application area should not be massaged or subjected to pressure.
- Avoid excessively hot environments (sauna, steam room) and heavy exercise.
- Drinking plenty of water supports the water-retention capacity of the filler and helps the result settle.
