If you have ever asked yourself, “Which filler will work best for me?” you are not alone. Choosing the right filler can be overwhelming, especially with so many options available. At Natural Image OC, we can help. Whether you want subtle volume, smoother skin, or more definition, we have a filler that will be right for you.
In this guide, you will learn about the most popular fillers, including what they do and who they suit. However, your decision will be personal and depend on your skin type, age, and aesthetic goals. A medical specialist can help you choose the best filler treatment.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the most common type of filler and is included in trusted brands, like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and the RHA® Collection. These fillers add volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance contours. The gel-like substance mimics your body’s natural HA, resulting in a soft and natural look that lasts up to a year.
HA fillers work well for lips, cheeks, and under the eyes. The results are reversible, which can give first-time users peace of mind. If you want a flexible and gentle enhancement, HA fillers might work best for you.
Calcium hydroxylapatite, found in such fillers as Radiesse, lifts and structures your face. These fillers are thicker than HA fillers and stimulate collagen production, making them an excellent option for deeper lines and areas that need more support, such as the jawline or nasolabial folds.
This type of filler is best for those seeking longer-lasting results and firmer definition. It stays in place well and lasts up to a year or more.
Poly-L-lactic acid is the main ingredient in Sculptra. Unlike some fillers, it gradually stimulates your body to produce collagen. Rather than providing instant volume, Sculptra builds fullness over several weeks. Results can last up to two years or more.
This filler can be ideal for those seeking a subtle transformation. It is excellent for hollow cheeks or temples, where volume loss is more pronounced.
When deciding which filler will work best for you, you will have several factors to consider, such as your treatment goals, how quickly you want results, and how long you want them to last. Each type of filler offers unique benefits.
One of our skilled providers can assess your face and help you determine your best fit. With our guidance, you will have confidence knowing which filler will work best for you. The product used will depend on the treatment area and the amount of correction needed. We often use a combination of products to achieve a customized treatment plan for you.
