Filler injections are one of the most commonly used methods to beautify the skin. As the age gets older, melting and thinning of the skin and subcutaneous fat tissue are observed. This causes loss of facial tissues. The aim of the applications with filler injections is to add volume and fullness to the skin and to make the skin looking younger and more fresh by reducing wrinkles.

The most commonly used area for filler injections is the face. By means of filler injections, wrinkles can be removed, facial depressions are filled and the skin looks healthier.

Filling injection application is not a painful procedure. Since it is not a surgical operation, it does not have serious side effects. Today, it is one of the most practical methods used in facial rejuvenation. The patient can easily continue his/her daily life after the application.

There are three types of filler injections: temporary, semi-permanent and permanent. The most preferred among these fillers are temporary, dissolvable fillers containing “hyaluronic acid”. This is because the side effects of permanent fillers are more than temporary fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule that is abundant in the body. In previous years, this acid extracted from animal tissues was more likely to cause allergies and rashes on the skin. However, since it is produced from bacteria with the recently developing technology, the possibility of skin redness and allergies is very low.

There are different types of hyaluronic injected into different parts of the body. The intended use of each is different. As the part of the body to be injected varies, the depth of the injection also varies. For this reason, it is very important that filler injection applications are performed by physicians experienced and specialized in filler injection.

-Filler injections can be applied to different parts of the body at the same time. Thus, many problems are solved in a single procedure.

-It is a comfortable procedure because it is injected with very small needles.

– The effect of filler injection lasts an average of 8-12 months, depending on the product used and the part of the body where the injection is applied.

What are the Differences between Filler Injection and Botox?

While filler injection is a method used to remove deep lines on the face, botox is a medical aesthetic method used to remove wrinkles caused by facial mimics. With the filler injection procedure, deep lines are filled and wrinkles are almost eliminated. In addition, since it is harmful to use botox under the eyes, filler injection is used to remove under-eye bruises, brown circles and bagging. Furthermore, botox and filler can be applied together to remove deep lines on the face, cheek and between the two eyebrows.
