What does a filler do?
Fillers work differently than botulinum toxin injectables. As the name suggests, fillers are used to fill in lines, wrinkles or lips. Most fillers consist of the substance hyaluronic acid. This is a substance native to the body and as such, it is also broken down slowly. Fillers with hyaluronic acid are most commonly used in cosmetic surgery, and the effect of the filler also disappears after several months.
With hyaluronic acid, pay close attention to the quality and price of the filler. Making quality fillers is a complicated process involving a number of steps to purify the substance. A good filler is purified over many steps and because of this, the price of the product is also higher. Many cheap fillers are not sanitized well enough and therefore cause known problems. If the price some where else is much cheaper than usual, it should raise a flag.
At MOOI Clinic, we use only the highest quality fillers with temporary effects. Always check with the attending physician, what type of fillers she/he works with and what the costs are.
Filling in wrinkles
By injecting fillers into the skin or just below it, wrinkles become significantly less visible. That doesn’t mean that your expression changes; only that your wrinkles become less visible as they are temporarily filled. This gives you a refreshed and rested look. These are the most common concerns treated with fillers:
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead wrinkles
- Frown lines
- Smoker’s lines around the mouth
- Laughter lines
- Cheekbones
- Marionette lines (drooping corners of the mouth)
- Nose – lip crease
- Bags under the eyes (tear ducts)
- Narrow lips
In addition, you can also achieve a tighter jawline with fillers.
The filler treatment with Belotero
The plastic surgeon or dermatologist injects the Belotero filler with very thin needles into the area to be treated. The treatment takes about 15 minutes; no anesthesia is necessary. Afterwards, your skin is somewhat red and swollen. After just a few days, you can see results. The effect of the Belotero lasts about 6-8 months.
