Hi, I’m Alessia Buscarini, a specialist in aesthetic medicine, and today I want to talk to you about fillers, one of the most popular treatments to counteract the signs of aging and improve facial contours. They are minimally invasive treatments that allow you to obtain immediate results, plumping up areas of the face and giving a youthful and natural appearance.
What Are Fillers?
They are gelled substances that I inject under the skin to fill in wrinkles, folds and areas that have lost volume. This treatment is very versatile and allows you to correct various imperfections, such as nasolabial wrinkles, scars or thin lips. The goal is to restore a fresh and harmonious appearance, improving the elasticity and symmetry of the face.
Types of Fillers I Use
In my practice, I use different types of products, each designed for specific needs:
1. Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers
It is the most common substance, naturally present in our body. There are those based on hyaluronic acid, such as Juvederm and Restylane, they are perfect for moisturizing and volumizing areas that have lost tone.
2. Fillers based on Calcium Hydroxyapatite
This type of injectable, such as Radiesse, stimulates the production of natural collagen, improving the structure of the skin and giving longer-lasting results.
3. Polyacrylamide-based fillers
Substances such as Aquamid are ideal for filling deep wrinkles and giving volume to the lips, with a long-lasting effect. Less and less used as they can cause side effects and complications.
4. Lipofilling (autologous fat)
A natural option that uses fat taken from other areas of the body to fill in areas of the face or body. Lipofilling is perfect for those who want a personalized and natural result.
Common Uses of Fillers
They can be used in different areas of the face for optimal aesthetic results. Here are some of the most common applications:
• Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Fill in nasolabial wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth for a more youthful appearance.
• Lips: add volume and define the contour of the lips, improving their shape.
• Cheekbones: add volume to the cheekbones to give the face a more sculpted and lifted look.
• Jaw and chin: improve the definition of the jawline and chin, creating sharper and firmer lines.
• Buttocks: Fillers fill in the emptied part of the buttocks giving the impression that they are higher and fuller immediately after treatment. The treatment is performed with a specific filler that lasts about 12 months.
Advantages of Fillers
Fillers offer numerous advantages:
• Immediate results: Immediately after treatment, you will already see a visible difference.
• Non-invasive treatment: They do not require surgery and have minimal recovery time.
• Personalization: Each treatment is tailored to your specific needs, for a tailored result.
Considerations and Risks
Like any aesthetic treatment, they have some risks and contraindications. While they are safe, it is important to be aware of possible side effects, such as swelling, redness, or temporary small bruising. In rare cases, allergic reactions or infections may occur. It is always important to rely on an experienced professional to minimize these risks.
Duration of Results
The results are not permanent. Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, the results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. After this period, it will be necessary to repeat the treatment to maintain the results obtained.
Conclusion
They are an effective and versatile solution for those who want to improve the appearance of the face in a natural way and without invasive interventions.
