What do facial fillers help with? Naturally, our skin will gradually deteriorate as we age, and skin problems will begin to follow, such as wrinkles, deep grooves, sunken face, sunken cheeks, or wrinkles under the eyes. Injecting facial fillers, which are Hyaluronic Acid fillers, will help reduce wrinkles that occur with age, fill deep grooves in various areas on the face, delay the occurrence of future wrinkles, and increase moisture and elasticity to the skin. In addition, injecting facial fillers can adjust the shape of the face to look more symmetrical, proportionate, and natural. In addition, hand fillers can be injected to solve the problem of dry, wrinkled hands.

2. Semi Permanent Filler
Semi Permanent Filler is a filler that cannot be 100% dissolved. Semi-permanent fillers are less safe than temporary fillers. It can last for about 2-5 years. Examples of semi-permanent fillers include calcium, hydroxyapatite, PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid), and polyalkylimide.
Semi-permanent fillers can have side effects because they cannot be completely dissolved. When injected for a long time, there may be problems with the filler forming a lump or inflammation, making it difficult to treat or fix. This semi-permanent filler is used abroad, but has not been approved by the FDA in Thailand.

Therefore, it is suitable for injection in areas that move frequently. The filler brand that is prominent in Crosslink technology is Juvederm.
Fillers with large particle sizes will last longer and have high hardness and low dispersion, but will not withstand horizontal torsion. If injected in areas that move frequently, it will not last long. Fillers with large particle sizes are therefore best suited for deep facial lifts.

The filler therefore has high hardness, making it suitable for lifting and supporting the skin.
