Wrinkle fillers
Fillers are substances that fill the naturally occurring ageing crease or wrinkle to improve the contour. Fillers may be autologous (belongs to you) or non-autologous. Autologous fat transfer is an example of autologous filler. There is a variety of non-autologous fillers available, however, hyaluronic acid (HA) is the most commonly used filler. HA is a naturally occurring substance. HA forms an important structural component of skin and supporting tissues, but as we get older the amount of HA and fat around our skin reduces.
You may experience bleeding at the injection site and swelling immediately after the procedure which usually settle within 48-72 hours. The other uncommon but reported risks include: infection, haematoma, and direct damage to nerves and blood vessels. Contour irregularities may occur and the filler generally lasts between 6-12 months, depending on the thickness of gel.
