Happy New Year! Lets Talk About Filler:

After the holidays, people often seek to restore volume in areas like smile lines, cheeks, and temples, where fat is desired. Fillers provide a solution, with options having significantly advanced over the years. The most common type is hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which are synthetic and come in various thicknesses, suitable for different facial areas. Brands such as RHA, Juvederm, and Restylane are examples, typically lasting from six months to a year. For more substantial volume loss, fat fillers like Renuva encourage the body to generate its own fat. Additionally, an all-natural option involves using Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from the patient's own blood, which utilizes growth factors to create a personal filler. Patients can choose between synthetic HA, fat-stimulating, or natural PRP methods, and should seek a qualified professional.
