A filler treatment ensures that small, light wrinkles in your face are beautifully filled. Additionally, a filler can restore a lack of volume, which makes your skin visibly firmer and gives you a younger appearance. Fillers can also shape your facial contours, giving you, for example, higher cheekbones or a tighter jawline.
What are fillers?
Where botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes the muscles so that wrinkles, lines, and frowns disappear, a filler actually temporarily fills in a wrinkle, fold, or frown. A filler is a type of gel based on hyaluronic acid. This is a substance naturally occurring in the body, which is present less and less in your skin as the ageing process progresses. With a filler, you are, as it were, replenishing this substance. At Dokter Finn, we only work with the best brands of hyaluronic acid. The safety of these brands in the long term has been amply proven.
What you need to know about a filler treatment
Hyaluronic acid also occurs naturally in your skin. Consequently, the chance of an allergic or foreign body reaction is very small. A filler treatment has an immediate effect. You will see results just five minutes after the treatment. The effect is optimal after about seven days. A filler works temporarily and is broken down by the body. When this happens varies per person. On average, you can count on an effect of approximately 12 months.
Often, the structure of your face is the starting point for whether you would benefit more from botulinum toxin or a filler. Things like age, your treatment history, and the quality of your skin also play a role. Your doctor will always advise you properly on this.
We unfortunately cannot treat pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding with fillers.
