Facial fillers (otherwise known as dermal fillers) are injectable gels used to restore or add volume to the face.^1,2 Fillers vary in density (thickness), which determines the area they can be used in, whether that is to provide lift or contouring, create symmetry, fill in lines or deep folds, or enhance a particular feature such as the lips.^1–3
Fillers can be permanent or temporary.^1,2 The JUVÉDERM^® range of fillers are non-permanent⁴ and can have durable results (up to 9–24 months, depending on the particular JUVÉDERM^® filler used and the areas treated)^4,5 but your body is able to metabolise it and eventually the results will fade.⁶

Your aesthetics practitioner will advise on how best to maintain your results. They may suggest a follow-up appointment 2 weeks after treatment.¹²

HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body that maintains the moisture in our skin by binding with water molecules.^4,7 It’s found in many human tissues including connective tissues and fluid around the joints,^4,8 but approximately 50% is found in our skin.⁸

HA facial fillers contain a manufactured form of hyaluronic acid.⁷ They are injected directly into the skin and can reduce the signs of ageing.^1,2 They can also add volume, to either restore volume lost over time^1,2 or to provide enhancement.³
As we age, our skin renews itself more slowly.⁹ A dramatic loss of HA from specific layers of the skin can be seen in aged skin¹⁰ as well a loss of collagen and elastin, all of which can result in dry, thin skin and the appearance of wrinkles and folds.^9,10 HA fillers can add lasting, albeit temporary, moisture to the skin.⁴

You may be focused on one particular area of your face, or you may just want to know more in general. Either way, your aesthetics practitioner will take the time to evaluate your face to come up with a personalised treatment plan.¹
The consultation may start with discussing your specific area of interest.² Don’t be too surprised if they take a couple of photos to use as tools to point out your unique face structure and how a dermal filler could be used.² In addition, they may show you pictures of other people (or you can ask to see some!) to get a better idea of real life results.
If you decide you want the treatment, your aesthetics practitioner will come up with a tailored treatment plan just for you.¹ They will walk you through the treatment,² and if you are feeling ready book you in for the appropriate appointments.

It’s important that you feel comfortable with your aesthetics practitioner and confident in their ability to help you achieve your treatment goals. Questions about training and seeing the results of patients they have worked with, together with discussing how they can help you achieve your desired look can give you a sense of whether they are the right aesthetics practitioner for you. Click on the Your Consultation tab to see examples of questions to ask at your first consultation.

Your appointment length will depend on your individual treatment plan and aesthetics practitioner, although as a guide they commonly last between 30 minutes and an hour.³ Your aesthetics practitioner will start by reviewing your treatment plan and giving you the ins and outs of what to expect that day.⁴ They will go over the number of injection points to show how they will treat you.⁴
When you are ready, they will first sanitise your treatment areas to prepare them for the injections.^5,11 JUVÉDERM^® dermal fillers include the anaesthetic lidocaine, which can help reduce discomfort you may feel during the treatment.^5,11
Each injection is short,³ lasting a few seconds, and the amount of JUVÉDERM^® used will be dependent on the main treatment objective.^5,11 The treatment technique will also vary depending on what you are looking to achieve.^5,11
After each injection, your aesthetics practitioner may massage the area to ensure that the JUVÉDERM^® is properly placed.^5–11 You will be able to see your results shortly after the treatment.¹¹ There may be some swelling and redness at the injection points,^5–11 but most people can return to their normal routine on the same day, depending on the treatment received.^12,13
Your aesthetics practitioner may want to schedule a follow-up appointment in a couple of weeks,⁴ just to check in and make sure you are happy with the results. It’s a great opportunity to make sure you are completely satisfied with your treatment, or if you want a small touch-up treatment to get the results you are after.⁴

The cost of facial fillers is determined by the specific treatment recommended by an aesthetics practitioner; therefore, the cost can vary depending on the clinic. Be sure to discuss costs when determining a recommended treatment plan with your aesthetics practitioner⁴ to make sure you will achieve the results you want, within the budget you are looking to spend.

Treatment times are specific to each individual and will vary depending on the number of injections that are required for the results you want. Your aesthetics practitioner will discuss exact treatment times with you when you decide on a plan. However, most treatments take 30 minutes to an hour.³

• Pain
• Tingling/numbness
• Firmness/bumps

If inflammatory reactions persist for more than one week, or if any other side effects develop, seek medical attention as soon as possible.^5–11
