Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in his latest blog talks about different types of fillers available to the public.

Many patients ask me what types of fillers are available to them and what make would I recommend.

I personally do not recommend one particular brand. Each company/brand have several fillers in their range of products and I choose which one is best for my patients demands. So I might use one filer from one company and another type of filler from another company.

Broadly speaking fillers can fall into 3 sub categories. They are divided into particular size, the larger the particular the longer the product will last.

Fine fillers – these have the smallest particle size and have the shortest duration time. These are used for very superficial lines, such as smokers lines that can occur above your upper lip. You don’t want a heavy particle fillers, since the skin is so thin in these areas, a heavier filler will cause lumpiness which may be visible. The effects of these fine fillers should last up to 6 months.

Medium fillers – as the name suggests these have average sized particulars. These type of fillers are normally used for the lips, nose to mouth lines and moth to chin lines. They will plump up the skin and are injected slightly deeper into the skin. The effects should last around 9-12 months.

Volumerisers – these are the heaviest particle sized fillers. As the name suggest they will add volume to the area treated. Common areas for these type of fillers are the cheeks. They are injected deeper than the other 2 fillers and the effects can last from 18-24 months.

We can control the look you want by using different graded fillers to achieve your desired look.
