Fillers are a procedure that can help add volume to sunken areas or naturally smooth out deep wrinkles. However, since fillers are not simply a treatment to fill in sunken spots but a medical procedure injected beneath the skin, it is said to be important to strictly follow post-procedure precautions.

Today, I will thoroughly explain what fillers are, their characteristics by treatment area, precautions after treatment, and even how long the effects last!

1. What are fillers?

Literally meaning "to fill" or "a substance that fills," fillers are medical preparations used to replenish skin tissue. They are said to help immediately improve facial wrinkles or sunken areas through a simple injection. Furthermore, because they are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the human body, they are considered highly safe and are easy to correct or remove after the procedure.

2. Characteristics of Filler Treatment Areas

The purpose and design direction of fillers can vary depending on the area being treated. It is said that it is important to consider the overall balance and naturalness of the face rather than simply adding a lot of volume.

 

1) Forehead

If the forehead area is sunken, the face can appear flat. Forehead fillers are said to help restore the three-dimensionality of the face.

 

2) Nasolabial folds

If the nasolabial folds look sunken, it can make you look older or give you a tired impression. Nasolabial fold fillers are said to play a role in adding volume to the deeply sunken areas of the nasolabial folds.

 

3) Under-eyes/Cheeks

Hollow skin under the eyes or in the cheeks can give a tired impression, but it is said to help restore volume and bring out the three-dimensionality of the face.

 

4) The entire nose

It is said that fillers can naturally improve the nose from the bridge to the tip, and can also smoothly smooth out the curvature of a hooked nose.

 

5) Lips

Lip fillers can be considered if you are concerned about thin lips, lip asymmetry, or volume. They are said to help transform small, thin lips into fuller ones.

 

6) Recessed chin

It is said that if you have a receding chin or a short or blunt chin, fillers can be used to create a natural V-line effect on the tip of the chin.

3. Precautions After Filler Injection

Post-filler precautions are essential to check in order to maintain natural-looking results and minimize swelling, bruising, and lumps. I will explain the precautions you must follow after a filler procedure.

 

1) Do not press hard or massage the treatment area.

After fillers, it is important not to press or rub the treated area hard. It is said that applying strong pressure before the filler has settled can cause clumping.

 

2) Avoid drinking and smoking

It is advisable to avoid drinking and smoking after filler injections. This is because they can affect the recovery process and increase the risk of swelling or inflammation.

 

3) Refrain from saunas, steam rooms, etc.

It is recommended to refrain from saunas or steam rooms for a certain period after fillers, as strong heat stimulation can affect swelling or inflammatory reactions.

 

4) If you experience any unusual symptoms, contact a hospital immediately.

Temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur after fillers, but if the pain worsens or is accompanied by changes in skin color, you should contact the hospital immediately.

 

 

4. Duration of filler effect

It is said that the duration of filler effects can vary depending on the type of product, the treatment area, and the amount injected. While this does not apply equally to everyone due to significant individual differences, the average duration of filler effects is reportedly as follows.

 

- Domestic fillers: Average 10~12 months

- Imported fillers: Average 12~18 months

5. Q&A

1) Is it possible to shower after fillers?
You may take a light shower after the procedure, but it is recommended to avoid hot and humid environments such as saunas and steam rooms for 7 days.

 

2) How much does the filler cost?

The price of Maypure domestic filler is 90,000 won per 1cc.

 

3) What are the differences between fillers and Rivicol?

Fillers are a procedure that instantly fills in wrinkles or areas where volume has been lost. Revicol is a collagen booster that provides immediate volume and firming effects, along with skin regeneration care.
