What is the Filler Program?
How should you prepare before injection?

As we age, the body inevitably undergoes changes. Facial structure naturally shifts—whether it be wrinkles, deep grooves, or sagging—which affects confidence and appearance. Current aesthetic medicine offers various methods to help rejuvenate and improve skin problems. One of the highly popular procedures with clear results is the Filler Program, which is one of the answers. This article will guide us to understand what the Filler Program is, what Filler can help with, and how to prepare before deciding to undergo the Filler Program injection.

What is the Filler Program?

The Filler Program is a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) type filler, which is a synthetic substance created to mimic natural substances already present in our skin layers. Natural HA functions to help the skin retain moisture, firmness, and elasticity, but its quantity decreases as we age. Injecting the Filler Program involves adding safe synthetic HA to replace the missing parts, helping to fill deep grooves, reduce wrinkles, adjust facial structure, and increase volume in desired areas.

How many types of Filler Programs are there?

Mainly, filler programs can be divided into 3 types as follows:

Temporary Filler Program (TEMPORARY FILLER)

Temporary Filler Programs (Temporary Filler) are mostly Hyaluronic Acid (HA) type fillers, which are highly safe, compatible with the body, and can decompose naturally 100%. It is the only type of filler program certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Thailand.

Semi-Permanent Filler Program (SEMI-PERMANENT FILLER)

Semi-Permanent Filler Programs (Semi-Permanent Filler) are synthetic substances designed to stay in the body longer than temporary ones, potentially lasting 2-5 years. Mostly, they are Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) or Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) types, which cannot decompose 100%. Residues may remain in the body, and they cannot be dissolved by injection. Therefore, there is a risk of long-term side effects, such as the filler becoming lumps, inflammation, or being difficult to correct if problems occur.

Permanent Filler Program (PERMANENT FILLER)

Permanent Filler Programs (Permanent Filler) are substances that cannot decompose on their own at all, such as liquid silicone or paraffin. These are substances with a high risk of causing serious long-term side effects to the body, such as chronic inflammation, filler migration (misshapen), hardening into lumps, or becoming fibrosis. These substances will remain in the body permanently and cannot be dissolved by injection. Therefore, Permanent Fillers are a type strictly prohibited in medical practice and are not certified by the FDA.

Who is PROGRAM FILLER suitable for?

  • Those who want to reduce deep wrinkles and grooves on the face, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
  • Those with deep undereye hollows, eye bags, or dark/sunken eyes caused by bone and fat loss, which make the face look tired, exhausted, and not refreshed.
  • Those who want to reshape their lips, add volume (plumpness), correct thin or uneven lips, or add moisture to the lips.
  • Those with sunken cheeks (hollow cheeks) that make the face look haggard; Filler Programs can be used to add volume and make cheeks look fuller.
  • Those who want to improve skin quality, increase hydration, and reduce pore size, making the skin look smooth, dewy, and glowing.
  • Those who want to correct acne scars by lifting the depressions to be shallower.

Where can the Filler Program be injected?

The Filler Program is a versatile filler substance that can be used to solve problems and improve facial features in many positions. Selecting the Filler Program suitable for each area is an important matter that the doctor will consider to achieve natural and safe results. Popular areas for injecting the Filler Program include:

Forehead Filler Program

Injecting the Forehead Filler Program is a method to help adjust the forehead shape to have a beautiful curve, solving problems of a flat forehead, indented forehead, or deep wrinkles and grooves in the forehead area. Filling with the Forehead Filler Program will help the overall face look sweet and soft; furthermore, it also enhances physiognomy (auspicious look) according to beliefs. Additionally, using the Filler Program is an alternative for those who do not want silicone implant surgery.

Temple Filler Program

Temples that are sunken or collapsed make cheekbones look more prominent and the face look harsh. Injecting the Filler Program involves filling the sunken temple area to look fuller, helping to adjust the upper facial frame to have more balanced proportions, and it can also help slightly lift the tail of the eyes and the tail of the eyebrows.

Under Eye Filler Program

Problems of deep tear troughs, dark circles under the eyes, or eye bags make the face look haggard and older than its actual age.Injecting the Filler Program corrects this problem directly by filling the collapsed area, making tear troughs shallower, smoothing eye bags, and reducing darkness under the eyes, making eyes look bright and helping the overall face look refreshed.

Nasolabial Fold Filler Program

Deep nasolabial folds are a problem that makes the face look aged and tired. For injecting the Nasolabial Fold Filler Program, the doctor will use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) type filler injected into the nasolabial fold area to increase volume under the skin. It helps deep grooves look shallower immediately, resulting in smooth skin in that area; the overall face looks clearly younger and fresher. It is a safe method with fast results.

Nose Filler Program

For those who want to raise the nose bridge, contour the nose bridge to be well-shaped, or adjust the nose tip to turn up slightly without needing nose implant surgery and having no recovery time. Injecting the Filler Program is one option that can be done; it helps adjust the nose shape to look sharper and more proportional.

Lip Filler Program

Injecting the Filler Program is a popular method for customizing lips; it can help add plumpness to the lips, solve thin lip problems, and reshape lips to be beautiful as desired, such as the chestnut shape (Krachap shape). It corrects uneven lip problems, increases moisture, and reduces fine wrinkles in the lip area, making lips look healthy. Choosing to use the Filler Program is important to achieve beautiful, natural lips.

Chin Filler Program

Injecting the Filler Program is a method to adjust the lower face shape to be proportional, solving problems of a short chin, squared chin, or receding chin without chin implant surgery. Filling the Filler Program in the chin area helps the face look more slender, the jawline becomes sharper, and it helps the face have more appropriate proportions.

How many CCs of Filler are used for each spot?

The amount of Filler Program used in each area varies, depending on each individual’s problem, the depth of wrinkles/grooves, the volume needed to fill, and the assessment of the expert doctor. Knowing that the Filler Program is a substance that must be used in the appropriate amount is important. Generally, the initial recommended amounts for each spot are as follows:

  • Forehead Filler: approximately 2-5 CC
  • Temple Filler: approximately 1-3 CC per side
  • Under Eye Filler: approximately 1-2 CC per side
  • Nasolabial Fold Filler: approximately 1-3 CC per side
  • Nose Filler: approximately 1 CC
  • Lip Filler: approximately 1-2 CC
  • Chin Filler: approximately 1-3 CC

How many days to see results from Filler injection?

Injecting the Filler Program is a procedure where changes can be seen immediately after injection is finished. You will notice that the injected area is filled, wrinkles are shallower, or the shape has changed. However, during the first 1-3 days, there may be slight swelling, which is normal. Then, the Filler Program will gradually integrate with skin tissues, and the swelling will gradually subside, giving clear results and settling into place within about 1-2 weeks after injection.

How long does the Filler Program last?

The Filler Program is a Hyaluronic Acid substance that can biodegrade naturally, so the results are temporary. Generally, HA Filler Programs will last for approximately 6-24 months.
The duration may vary depending on several factors, such as concentration, production technology, injection area, and each person’s body metabolism, as well as self-care after injection.

How to prepare before Filler Program injection

  • Understand what the Filler Program is, how many types there are, its pros and cons, and what potential risks may arise.
  • Choose a standardized clinic with a valid license and choose a doctor experienced in injecting Filler Programs.
  • Consult the doctor about your problems, needs, and concerns in detail, including informing them of your health history, congenital diseases, drug allergy history, or other procedures.
  • Stop taking medications and vitamins that affect blood clotting for at least 1 week before injection, as they may cause easy bleeding or increased bruising.
  • Refrain from drinking alcohol for at least 24-48 hours before injection because alcohol dilates blood vessels, potentially increasing the risk of swelling and bruising.
  • Avoid activities that cause high blood pumping, such as heavy exercise or saunas, within 24 hours before injection.
  • Refrain from skin exfoliation or laser treatments in the area to be treated for at least 3-7 days before the procedure.
  • Get enough rest to prepare your body for the procedure.

How to care for yourself after Filler Program injection

  • Avoid touching, pressing, massaging, or rubbing the injected area during the first 1-2 weeks to prevent the Filler Program from moving to the wrong position.
  • If there is swelling or bruising, you can apply a light cold compress during the first 48 hours.
  • Avoid heat; refrain from activities involving high heat contact, such as saunas, steam rooms, staying in front of hot stoves, or strong sun exposure for at least 2 weeks, because heat may cause the Filler Program to dissolve faster.
  • Refrain from heavy exercise during the first 24-48 hours to reduce swelling.
  • Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 1-2 weeks to reduce inflammation and help wounds heal faster.
  • Drink plenty of water because drinking water helps the HA Filler Program retain water better, making the skin look moisturized.
  • Avoid laser treatments or heat-based treatments in the area injected with Filler Program for at least 2-4 weeks, or consult a doctor first.
  • Refrain from fermented foods, spicy foods, or raw foods during the first week to reduce the risk of inflammation or infection.
  • Makeup and cream can be applied as usual 24 hours after injection, but it should be done gently, and sunscreen should be applied regularly.
  • See the doctor as appointed to follow up and evaluate results.
  • Observe for abnormalities; if there is unusual pain, swelling, redness, heat, or skin color changes in the injected area, contact a doctor immediately.

Is injecting the Filler Program dangerous?

Hyaluronic Acid type Filler Programs certified by the FDA are considered highly safe when injected by a doctor in a standardized clinic using only authentic Filler Programs. However, every medical procedure inevitably has minor side effects such as bruising, swelling, redness, itching, or infection, which are normal symptoms found. Severe risks may occasionally be encountered but are found very rarely. Therefore, choosing a reliable doctor and medical facility for injecting the Filler Program is the most important factor in reducing potential risks.

What are the symptoms of an allergic reaction to the Filler Program?

Allergic reactions to the Filler Program are found very rarely for authentic HA type Filler Programs because HA is a substance already present in the body. However, allergic reactions to the Filler Program can occur in some patients. Allergy symptoms usually manifest as swelling, redness, itching, rashes, or abnormal lumps in the injected area.

This may occur immediately after injection or many days later. If an allergic reaction is suspected, you should inform the doctor immediately to receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Is injecting the Filler Program painful? How many days does it swell?

The feeling of pain while injecting the Filler Program is something many people worry about. But generally, injecting the Filler Program will feel slightly painful, similar to an ant bite or a normal injection. But before injecting the Filler Program, anesthetic cream will be applied. Additionally, many brands of Filler Programs already contain anesthetic ingredients, making it feel more comfortable during the procedure.
After injection, there may be slight swelling, which is considered normal and will gradually subside and settle within 1-2 weeks, depending on each individual and the injected area.

Which Filler brands are available? Which one is good?

In the market, there are many authentic FDA-approved HA filler brands. Choosing a brand and model is something the doctor will consider based on the appropriateness of the problem, skin condition, injection area, and desired results. There is no single “best” filler brand because each brand has different manufacturing technologies and filler gel properties.

The level of pain during filler injection is very minimal. Generally, patients only feel a slight sensation similar to an ant bite. This is because a topical numbing cream is always applied to the injection area before the procedure to reduce discomfort. Additionally, many filler brands currently include a local anesthetic (Lidocaine) in their formula, making the experience during and after the injection much more comfortable. For those concerned about pain, it is truly not as big of an issue as imagined.

Results from the filler program can be seen immediately after the injection. You will notice that the injected area is more filled in, wrinkles look shallower, or the face has a more defined shape. However, there may be mild swelling during the first 1–3 days. The filler program will then begin to integrate with the skin and settle into place, with the clearest results visible within 1–2 weeks. Results will last approximately 6–24 months, depending on the filler brand, the injection area, and each individual’s self-care.

After a filler injection, mild swelling may occur for approximately 1–3 days, gradually subsiding until it settles smoothly into the skin within 1–2 weeks. The following aftercare is recommended for the post-injection period:

  • Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the injected area.
  • Avoid activities involving high heat, such as saunas or strenuous exercise.
  • Refrain from drinking alcohol for the first 1–2 weeks.
  • Drink plenty of water to help the filler retain moisture and achieve better results.

For the filler program to deliver good results and effectiveness, following the doctor’s instructions carefully both before and after the filler injection will help reduce the risk of unwanted side effects and allow the filler to settle beautifully.
