Why Are Fillers So Popular?

There’s no question that injectable fillers are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the country, as products such as JUVÉDERM® are well-established as household names. But what is it that makes dermal fillers so appealing?

We’ve compiled a list of the top 5 benefits of injectable fillers to highlight what makes these non-surgical treatments such a success.

1. Immediate & Convenient

In our busy daily lives, convenience is king. No one wants to sit in a doctor’s office or medspa all day, so dermal fillers are an effective way to get the results you want fast. The average dermal injection appointment is about 30 minutes, making these treatments a breeze to fit in on a lunch break, after work, or during routine errands.

If you want to increase the volume of your lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, (or more!), dermal fillers provide nearly instant results. Aside from some minor swelling and bruising at the injection site, most patients are good to walk out of their appointment with results that are pretty close to final. Ideal results usually show up once the swelling subsides, within a day or two.

2. Versatile Applications & Formulas

The dermal filler market has expanded to the point that there is a filler for everyone and for every need. Each filler is comprised of different proteins and substances that mimic the feel and movement of real tissue. Additionally, these proteins often naturally occur in the body, so they easily integrate into the treatment area. Common active ingredients include:

• Hyaluronic acid, which pulls moisture to maintain fullness in the treatment area
• Poly-L-lactic acid, which increases volume and stimulates collagen production for lasting rejuvenation
• Calcium hydroxylapatite strengthens the structure of the treatment area, increases volume, and promotes collagen production

In addition to these variations in active ingredients and consistencies, each filler provides a specific result for various treatment areas. Your aesthetic provider can match the best filler for your needs. Injectable fillers can provide the following results:

• Reduce the appearance of deep creases, fine lines, and wrinkles
• Add volume and shape to the jawline for more definition
• Create a stronger chin for increased facial balance
• “Fill in” hollows under the eyes
• Contour the nose for a liquid rhinoplasty
• Plump and shape the lips
• Enhance the cheeks
• Correct minor imperfections and depressions in the face
• Rejuvenate the hands

Under the care of an experienced aesthetic provider, injectable fillers can provide subtle changes or dramatic transformations for a fully customized look.

3. Non-surgical

The fact that injectable fillers require no incisions, no downtime, and no recovery is a huge benefit to patients. Aside from the convenience, non-surgical treatments are more accessible for people who cannot have anesthesia or who have medical issues that make surgery dangerous. Others simply do not want to undergo elective procedures for aesthetic benefit, which is understandable.

Without the need for incisions, anesthesia, or sutures, patients only have to contend with a slight pinch as opposed to the prolonged pain of a recovery period. Lastly, downtime is minimal with non-surgical treatments, so patients have less responsibility for aftercare and can go about their normal routines with little interruption.

4. Temporary

While this may not seem like a benefit, many people view fillers as a “low stakes” option when it comes to aesthetic treatments. While fillers do have some longevity (around six months, give or take), they will eventually fade, which can be a great option for patients who may not be fully ready to commit to surgery or more permanent alternatives. Fillers are also quite popular with younger patients who want a little more control over their aesthetic choices, and the flexibility of a non-permanent option is very appealing.

5. Natural-looking, Buildable Results

Injectable fillers also give patients and providers much more control over their results, as the impermanence of the product means that treatment plans can be easily changed during a touch-up appointment. Dermal fillers work best in gradual increments, which allows the provider to adjust the amount that is administered for a natural-looking, plumped look.
