Filler Injections 101: The Art of Subtle Enhancement

Volume loss is one of the earliest and most noticeable signs of aging. As collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid naturally deplete over time, the face can begin to look tired, hollow, or saggy—even when we feel energized and radiant. That’s where dermal fillers come in.

At Facevestment, we approach filler injections as both a science and an art form, restoring youthful structure while honoring the natural character of your face. Here’s your introductory guide to understanding fillers and how they can help you age elegantly.

What Are Filler Injections?

Filler injections are minimally invasive treatments designed to restore volume, contour, and hydration to the face. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA)—a molecule naturally found in the skin that attracts water and helps maintain plumpness and elasticity.

They can be used to:

  • Soften fine lines and deep folds

  • Restore volume to cheeks and temples

  • Define the jawline and chin

  • Enhance lips naturally

  • Improve under-eye hollows

  • Balance facial proportions

How Do They Work?

Once injected beneath the skin, the filler adds volume to the targeted area, immediately enhancing facial contours or smoothing out folds. Depending on the type of filler and its placement, results can be subtle or more transformative—always tailored to your aesthetic goals.

At Facevestment, we specialize in natural results that elevate, not overpower, your features.

Types of Fillers

There are several families of FDA-approved fillers, each with unique characteristics:

We choose your filler type based on treatment area, skin type, and desired longevity.

Where Can Fillers Be Used?

Common treatment areas include:

  • Lips – for volume, shape, and hydration

  • Cheeks – to lift and contour the midface

  • Chin & Jawline – to sculpt and define

  • Nasolabial folds & Marionette lines – to soften aging shadows

  • Discomfort: Mild; numbing agents are often used

  • Downtime: Minimal. Some swelling or bruising may occur and subside in a few days

  • Results: Immediate with HA fillers; progressive with collagen stimulators

Yes—when performed by a licensed and experienced medical professional. At Facevestment, your safety is our top priority. We use advanced techniques and deep knowledge of facial anatomy to minimize risk and ensure refined, balanced results.
