What are fillers?

Fillers usually consist of a gel-like substance containing hyaluronic acid - a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and volume in the skin. The treatment is done by injections with a fine needle/cannula, in or under the skin or directly on the facial bones. Facial filler injections are usually painless, but may cause some discomfort or swelling after the injection.

The use of hyaluronic acid for aesthetic treatments became possible only when hyaluronic acid became available in non-animal form in the mid-2000s. Per Hedén was actively involved in this development and still has a close scientific contact with the leading producers in the market with involvement as a lecturer and practical tutor for therapists in Sweden and internationally.

There are a number of different fillers on the market. An important aspect of a successful outcome is the choice of which fillers are best for the individual case, which requires a thorough knowledge of the products' properties.

What is treated?

Fillers are used to restore and build volume. The treatment is mainly used on the face to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, to increase volume in the cheeks, lips and cheekbones, to restore pouty lips and to give a more defined jawline. It can also be used to fill in hollows under the eyes.

One of the benefits of the treatment is that it provides immediate results with minimal recovery time. Patients can return to their daily routines immediately after treatment.

How long does the effect last?

The effect usually lasts between nine and 12 months, but can sometimes be much longer. The variation is individual and depends on the type of fillers used and where the injections are made, as well as on age, skin type and lifestyle.

Why should I not exercise after fillers?
Avoiding strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after a filler injection is recommended to reduce the risk of increased swelling, bruising and infection.
How often do you need to top up fillers?
The frequency of filler refills depends on several factors such as the type of filler used, the treatment area, your individual metabolism and the desired result. It is important to consult with your practitioner to create a treatment plan that best suits you. For example, a treatment under the eyes lasts longer than in the lips because the lips are an active muscle. If you have had repeated filler treatments in one area, many people also find that the effect lasts longer than if it is a first injection.
