Fabric fillers

Facial rejuvenation procedures are performed using tissue filler injections. Tissue fillers are divided into temporary and long-term. Temporary ones are quickly absorbed by our body and the procedures need to be repeated frequently. Long-term facial fillers are not absorbed.

Short-term fillers:

• Hyaluronic acid;
• Collagen;
• Fats;
• Lactic acid polymer.

Long-term fillings:

• Liquid silicone;
• Hybrid fillers.

Temporary fillers, which are absorbed into the body over time, are considered the safest for human health. Only after consulting with a surgeon and expressing all your problems and wishes, you will decide which fillers are best for you.

Hyaluronic acid injections

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is present in all of our bodies. It is a filling substance that moisturizes the skin, transfers nutrients to cells, and protects against damage. Under the influence of environmental factors and as a person ages, the amount of hyaluron in the body decreases, which is precisely why wrinkles appear. So, several decades ago, scientists figured out how to use this substance and created hyaluronic injections, which are currently widely used to beautify facial skin.

Collagen fillers

Collagen is also a natural substance found in the human body that supports the structure of skin, muscles, bones and tendons. As a person ages, the amount of collagen in the skin decreases, which also causes wrinkles. Collagen fillers are made using human collagen or collagen extracted from bovine or other mammalian collagen.

Fat injections

A special syringe is used to take the required amount of fat from areas where the most fat accumulates (abdomen, thighs, hips). This fat is cleaned and specially processed, and then injected into areas with wrinkles. Such a procedure can only be performed by an experienced specialist who knows how to properly inject fat to achieve the best result.

Safety and health are paramount

Currently, tissue filler injections are very common and it is believed that this is a simple procedure that can be performed by almost any beautician. However, this is not true. Tissue filler injections should only be performed by a qualified specialist. Many women, looking for a lower price, put their health and beauty at great risk, because often they go to inexperienced, unqualified people who do not have any permits or licenses for such procedures. In order to properly perform injections and achieve the expected results, you need to complete special education. Plastic surgeons or dermatologists will best perform such procedures for you. So, in order to avoid a „beauty catastrophe“, responsibly choose a specialist in whose hands you want to entrust your health and beauty.

Comment by Dr. G. Papečkis:

Currently, it is especially popular to correct various facial skin problems (volume deficiencies, wrinkles) with injections of „fillers“ – dermal fillers. Their popularity is determined by their relatively simple use – injections are performed in a procedure room, no special preparation is required, and the result is visible immediately or after a few days. With proper use of fillers, you can get truly impressive results. However, this is not a tool that can replace other aesthetic procedures. They are particularly suitable for combination with other corrections. Filler injections are suitable for younger patients (up to 50 years old), as they more effectively correct the shape of the face (cheeks, lips, chin) and small skin wrinkles, and a slight „sagging“ of the face. The most popular fillers – hyaluronic acid preparations – have the property of attracting water molecules. Sometimes, being too fascinated by the possibilities of fillers can cause facial swelling, which even has the name „botox face“ – many people perceive that a person has undergone an aesthetic procedure. However, most women want no one to suspect that the procedures they have undergone. Most often, such problems arise when filler procedures are performed by non-physicians.
