Episode Transcript
Facial fillers have been evolving dramatically since their debut in the 1980s. From collagen injections in 1981 to the introduction of Restylane in 2003, and Radiesse in 2006, the filler market has expanded significantly. Last year alone, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported over 6.2 million filler procedures, averaging 17,000 each day. Today is September 14, 2024, and we’re seeing fascinating trends.
Juvederm Volux XC, a new hyaluronic acid filler, has changed the game. Unlike traditional fillers that plump for a youthful look, Juvederm Volux XC sculpts for sharper jawlines and chiseled chins, mimicking bone structure rather than soft tissue. But be cautious of the “pillow face” effect, which results from over-injection. Choosing a qualified and experienced practitioner is crucial for achieving desired results without complications.
Fillers can migrate, particularly in highly mobile facial areas, leading to uneven results. Side effects are generally mild—bruising, swelling, and tenderness—but serious complications, though rare, can occur if fillers obstruct blood vessels. These can lead to severe outcomes like tissue death or stroke and underline the importance of professional treatment.
Stay informed and choose authentic products to avoid harmful counterfeit fillers that can pose serious health risks. As the saying goes, safety first. Be well, and I’ll talk to you soon.
