Episode Transcript

Happy February 23rd! Let’s dive into the latest buzz in aesthetic medicine—filler fatigue. This term is making waves as more people and celebrities rethink the aesthetic overuse of dermal fillers. Experts like Dr. Geeta Grewal from 9 Muses Wellness Clinic and Dr. Manoj Johar from Max Super Speciality Hospital elaborate on why this trend is emerging.

Filler fatigue refers to skin becoming less responsive to dermal fillers, often resulting from repeated use. This can cause a loss of elasticity and a less natural look. Many clinics have followed a “one-size-fits-all” approach to fillers, leading to poor results. Dr. Grewal stresses the importance of personalized treatment since fillers should enhance, not distort.

The demand for dissolving fillers is rising due to cases of unnatural looks and complications. Dr. Johar talks about patients dealing with anxiety over filler choices, sometimes requiring treatments like hyaluronidase to dissolve unsatisfactory results.

As filler fatigue grows, people shift towards natural enhancements and skin health. Dr. Sunil Choudhary highlights that trends like temporary fillers, fat grafting, and regenerative therapies are gaining traction for their subtle, lasting effects.

Ultimately, the future seems bright for those leaning toward natural aesthetics, focusing on procedures that boost skin health over volume enhancement. Until next time, embrace the natural look!
