Decoding Fillers: What They Are and How They Work

As a leading aesthetic clinic in the Pacific Northwest, Shmily Aesthetics is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their best skin ever. One of our most popular services is the use of fillers to enhance facial features, smoothen out wrinkles and add volume to areas that may have lost it over time. But what exactly are fillers and how do they work? Let’s decode it together!

Understanding Fillers

Fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are substances injected into the skin to restore volume, smooth out lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. The active ingredient in most fillers is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that holds water and helps keep the skin plump and hydrated. As we age, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to a loss of volume in the face.

Types of Fillers

At Shmily Aesthetics, we offer a variety of fillers to cater to different needs. Our RHA fillers are ideal for dynamic wrinkles, those that form due to repeated muscle movements. Restylane is another versatile filler used for enhancing lips, cheeks, and contours of the face.

How Fillers Work

Unlike creams and serums which work on the surface of the skin, fillers are designed to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. Once injected, they attract water molecules and bind them to hold facial structures, offering a natural-looking fullness.

The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes and does not require any downtime. You may experience minor swelling or redness at the injection site which typically subsides within a couple of hours.

Safety Precautions with Fillers

Fillers are generally safe when administered by a trained professional. At Shmily Aesthetics, our team of experienced specialists ensures a safe and comfortable experience for all our patients. They will guide you through the process, answering all your queries before, during, and after the procedure.

Longevity of Fillers

Fillers are temporary solutions, with results that can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and an individual’s body reaction to it. We provide customized treatment plans based on individual needs to complement the filler treatments for optimal results.

The best way to understand if fillers are right for you is through a consultation. Our team will evaluate your skin conditions, concerns, and objectives and tailor a treatment plan that works best for you.
