Filler Treatments

Dermal fillers, primarily derived from substances like Hyaluronic Acid (HA), are a popular choice for enhancing facial aesthetics.

Injecting filler refers to the use of various types of dermal fillers to enhance facial aesthetics naturally. These fillers can range from fat and liquid silicone, which were widely used in the past, to modern substances.

Today, the most commonly used filler is Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body. Scientists have developed synthetic HA to mimic the body's own components, primarily to restore volume and replace lost collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are essential structural elements of the skin that decrease with age.

Modern fillers have advanced in formulation and are now tailored to treat various facial concerns. Techniques for injecting fillers have also evolved, allowing for customized treatments depending on the severity of the concern and the injection site—such as under the eyes, sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds, chin, and more.

Siam Clinic Phuket offers filler injection services performed by experienced doctors who regularly update their techniques to ensure safe and effective results.

Types of Fillers

There are three main types of dermal fillers:

1. Temporary Fillers
   Lasting approximately 6 months to 2 years, these fillers naturally dissolve in the body and are considered very safe. They are the most popular type today. A well-known example is Hyaluronic Acid (HA). The key advantage is that they can be adjusted or dissolved if needed.

2. Semi-Permanent Fillers
   These last 2 to 5 years and include substances like Calcium Hydroxyapatite. Although longer-lasting, they are less safe than temporary fillers and are not approved for use in Thailand due to potential complications that are difficult to correct.

3. Permanent Fillers
   Made from substances like Silicone or Paraffin, these fillers remain in the body indefinitely and do not dissolve. They may cause long-term side effects, such as migration or deformation, and are generally not recommended due to the difficulty of removal and potential health risks.

Common Filler Injection Areas

Filler can be injected into multiple areas, with the most popular spots being:

• Under the eyes – to rejuvenate hollow or sunken areas

• Chin – to reshape and create a more V-line face

• Nasolabial folds – to reduce deep smile lines

• Sunken cheeks – to correct hollow or prominent cheekbones

• Lips – to reshape without surgery

• Temples – to improve facial proportions

• Forehead – to enhance symmetry and improve facial harmony (also popular for feng shui beliefs)

• Nose – for non-surgical nose reshaping

How Much Filler Is Needed per Area?

Filler volume varies by area and individual facial anatomy. A rough guide:

• Nose / Nasal tip: 1 ml

• Chin: 1–2 ml

• Lips: 1–2 ml

• Marionette lines: 1–2 ml

• Nasolabial folds: 1–2 ml

• Cheek volume: 2–4 ml

• Under-eye area: 1–3 ml

• Temples: 2–3 ml

• Forehead: 4–6 ml

Is Filler Injection Safe?

Yes—FDA-approved fillers (from the U.S.) are derived from natural substances and are very safe. However, it's critical that filler injections are performed by qualified medical professionals in licensed medical facilities, as improper injection (e.g., into a blood vessel) can cause serious complications or even death.
