Types of facial fillers
Injectable fillers can treat a variety of cosmetic issues quickly and relatively painlessly — giving you results that may last for months or sometimes, much longer. These fillers contain mostly hyaluronic acid mixed with analgesia, and typically, are classified as either:
- Dermal fillers: treating wrinkles, fine lines and scars
- Volumising fillers: adding volume to cheekbones, temples, jaw bones, chins and even noses.
Volumising fillers can provide exquisite, age defying and simply beautiful results – in just minutes! Female cosmetic physician Dr Joni Feldman skilfully performs all cosmetic injectables procedures in her South Yarra rooms (near Prahan, Windsor and Toorak).
How dermal fillers help
Our faces aged slowly and subtly. Over time, our faces suffer a loss of volume due to our underlying collagen and natural hyaluronic acid depleting. Fat stores deteriorate and even the bone mass in our faces decrease. This generalised thinning to all components of the face contributes to the general appearance of ageing.
With volumising soft tissue fillers, lip fillers and cheek fillers, your face can be subtly filled and contoured to counteract these changes. The result? You’ll look a little closer to how you looked several years ago.
