Good filler results are invisible. So many people use fillers to rejuvenate their faces, but you’ll never know it because good placement and the right filler seamlessly blend into your tissues, restoring volume loss and leaving you looking fresh and glowing.
However, not all fillers are the same. Differences in consistency and formulation make some fillers more suitable for different parts of your face than others. Injecting fillers is both an art and a science.
Our specialist, Dr. Pompeyo Chavez and his team at Soulage Wellness & Aesthetic Center, have extensive experience working with dermal fillers. We’ve asked him to explain how fillers work and how different filler types are used for a natural, long-lasting result.
Certain types of fillers perform better than others in areas with differing skin thickness and tissue density. For example, in the under-eye area, softer, more delicate fillers such as hyaluronic acid–based fillers provide a subtle lift without causing any lumps that would be very noticeable beneath the thin skin.
If you choose to add volume to the cheeks and jawline, you need a filler that’s more robust—one that gives definition and hold.
Juvederm® Voluma is specifically FDA-approved to restore age-related volume loss in the cheek area, adding contour and a subtle lift that can last up to two years. Meanwhile, Radiesse® not only adds immediate structure and volume but also stimulates collagen production in the injected area.
Dynamic and static areas refer to highly mobile regions, such as your lips, or regions that are less mobile, such as your temples, jaw, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. Because your lips are highly mobile, smooth, flexible fillers such as those from Restylane® or Juvederm® Volbella® offer ideal solutions for achieving natural-looking fullness while still allowing for fluid movement. This flexibility is critical to maintaining normal expressions and preventing an unnatural feel.
For nasolabial folds, thicker formulations such as Juvederm Ultra Plus or Restylane Lyft work effectively in smoothing these lines, offering both immediate aesthetic improvements and sustained contour support.
An experienced injector doesn’t just blindly follow guidelines; they also take into account your unique needs, creating a treatment that harmonizes your overall look. Such a plan considers factors like skin thickness, movement, and the desired treatment longevity, ensuring that every product is used appropriately.
If you are looking for a comprehensive, nonsurgical solution to the signs of aging, dermal fillers provide big results within days after treatment with no downtime needed.
