Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable cosmetic products used to reduce the signs of aging. Facial fillers work by replacing natural body components that diminish over time, such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
When injected, these fillers plump the skin from underneath, diminishing sagging or loose skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The end result is a more youthful and rejuvenated complexion. Facial fillers also eliminate ‘sunken’ facial features that indicate advanced aging, such as deflated cheeks and forehead nods.
Facial fillers are excellent treatments for anyone looking to restore a youthful, rejuvenated fullness in the face.
Unlike some other facial rejuvenation treatments, such as facelifts, facial fillers do not require complex surgical techniques or extensive downtime. The procedure can take as little as 15 minutes to complete, and carries minimal to no discomfort. Patients can walk away from a facial filler treatment with immediate results, and the effects can last for 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used.
Facial fillers come in a variety of formulations, including:
Over the years, facial filler treatments have become increasingly popular with both men and women of all ages. An ideal candidate should be in good overall health and possess realistic expectations about the effects of the procedure.

Dr. Rishi at Parashar Skin Clinic Clinic in New Delhi will help to ensure that the facial filler product is evenly distributed in the desired area. Patient will be able to walk away from the treatment with longevity and youth-enhancing results.
The longevity of filler results depends on the type of product used and the area of injection. Most facial filler products can last up to 18 months, with some providing even longer-lasting results. The longevity of the product tends to decrease as the patients’ age advances.
Common side effects associated with facial fillers are swelling and bruising. These side effects should subside quickly on their own.
Although rare, some patients will experience serious side effects due to facial fillers. These include infections, vascular occlusion, necrosis of skin, and granuloma formation. All of these issues are preventable and treatable, but patients should be aware of the risks associated with any type of facial filler injection.
Patients should stop taking certain medications before undergoing a facial filler treatment. This includes aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and other medications in the same category.
In addition, patients should not have any facials or other treatments that involve the injection of needles in the weeks leading up to their treatment. There should at least be a one-week gap between the dermal filler treatment and other injections.This will help ensure that the patient achieves the most natural-looking and long-lasting facial filler results.
After the facial filler treatment, patients should keep the area clean for at least 48 hours in order to avoid any infection. Some swelling will be present in the treatment area, and ice can be applied to reduce this.
Patients should also avoid touching or rubbing the area and abstain from excessive sun exposure. To ensure the longevity of their results, patients should meet with Dr. Rishi at Parashar Skin Clinic Clinic in New Delhi for periodic follow-up appointments.
