What are Fillers?
Facial fillers are essential treatments in aesthetic medicine, ideal for those looking to reduce superficial wrinkles, as well as soften deep facial grooves.
These marks appear due to the loss of subcutaneous volume and sagging skin. Fillers counteract this effect and restore firmness to the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and hands.
In addition to their effectiveness, filler treatments are safe and do not cause damage to the skin or the body.
There are several substances that can be used depending on the desired result.
Type of fillers
Fillers can be temporary and reabsorbed by the body after about a year, or permanent, in the sense that the substances used remain in the body for a long time.
At our clinic, we prefer temporary fillers to avoid some complications associated with permanent products.
Filler Treatment
The effects after filler application are immediate. However, this depends on the substance used. In some cases, the aesthetic result improves in the days and weeks following the procedure.
Indications
In addition to filling wrinkles and skin folds, they are also recommended for people looking to:
- Reduce atrophic, acne or traumatic scars;
- Increase lip volume;
- Correct the “gummy” smile;
- Reinforce the contour of the face;
- Get an immediate lifting effect;
- Fill in the cheekbone area;
- Increase areas of the face with lipoatrophy.
Procedure
The substance is introduced into the dermis and hypodermis using a special, very fine, shallow needle. In our clinic, we only use approved products with a track record of efficacy and safety.
The product used depends on the patient's problem, its location and expected results.
The technique can even be combined with other procedures to maximize aesthetic correction.

Painless and without anesthesia
The procedure is relatively quick and virtually painless. It's a treatment you can easily perform during your lunch break or at the end of a workday.
Post-surgery
Side effects are very rare and mostly temporary. Minor bruising, temporary swelling, or minimal bleeding may occur.
The most important thing is to choose a doctor experienced in this technique to avoid complications and benefit from the full potential of this aesthetic treatment.
