Fillers:
Fillers are used to soften wrinkles by injecting a filler under the skin, but they can also be used to enhance lip fullness or restore volume and contours in the face. There are different types of fillers available, depending on the desired duration of the effect:
- Temporary Fillers: Fully broken down by the body within a few months to a year.
- Semi-permanent Fillers: Slowly broken down and remain visible for a longer time.
- Permanent Fillers: Are rarely or never broken down by the body, but are less commonly used today due to associated risks.
