Filler

Many women, when they get older, their face and body skin sags with time. However, even though we cannot stop the passage of time, we can stop and slow down the aging of the skin from time. If you want to have firm and youthful skin, fillers are a popular option today. Fillers contain Hyaluionic Acid, which helps fill the skin layer, which helps reduce wrinkles, making various areas look firm and youthful again. This filler is a medical device that is accepted by the FDA as a natural substance that is safe and not dangerous. However, it is necessary to have a specialist doctor to inject it appropriately and in the right place.



Advantages of filler

  • Fillers help correct deep wrinkles in various areas.
  • Fillers help to correct facial contouring problems.
  • Fillers help nourish the skin to look younger and radiant.
  • Fillers help solve problems with pores and acne scars on the face.



Filler injection procedure

Normally, the filler injection process does not involve many steps, both in terms of adjusting the face shape to be firmer and reducing wrinkles. It involves using a needle with filler injected into the skin in the area where you want to reduce wrinkles and make it firmer. The injection takes about 20 minutes. After the injection, there may be slight pain, but it will disappear within 1-2 days. The filler must be re-injected every 6-12 months because the filler is not permanent. The duration depends on your daily lifestyle and self-care after the filler injection.



Where can filler be done?

In fact, filler can be injected at any point to tighten the skin in the skin that we want. But generally, filler is injected in the face to tighten deep lines and wrinkles that occur with age, whether under the eyes, cheeks, mouth, and chin. However, we can consult a doctor before receiving filler to assess the results and look at the shape of the face to see which areas are most suitable for filler.



How to prepare before filler injections

  • Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 1 day before the filler injection.
  • All types of supplements or vitamins that cause blood clotting should be avoided, as this will make it harder for the filler to enter the body.
  • Pain relievers, aspirin, and NSAIDs (e.g., Ibruprofen, Naproxen) should be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to the injection to prevent bruising.
  • You should inform your consulting doctor before surgery if you have any underlying diseases.
  • You should remove makeup or cleanse your face before seeing a doctor.



How to take care after filler injection

  • Avoid touching your face,
    touching, holding, massaging, or pressing the area where the filler was injected, as this may cause the shape to shift or may not show any results at all due to the filler dispersing. However, if irritation occurs and you want to press or scratch continuously for 2-3 days, you should consult a doctor because it may be due to an allergic reaction.
  • Avoid going to clinics for any type of facial treatment.
    You should not receive any type of facial beauty enhancement, whether it is facial massage, facial scrub, or facial mask, because it will cause severe impact on the area where the filler is injected, causing the filler to spread and not produce a lifting effect after injection.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages.
    Stop drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 1 day before the filler injection for 3-7 days to prevent swelling from alcohol and prevent danger if drinking a lot, you may accidentally touch your face without realizing it.
  • Avoid heat sources and strong sunlight.
    You should not put your face in areas with heat, such as various types of stoves or grilled pork or chicken shops on the side of the road. You should also avoid strong sunlight because the heat will cause the filler to break down quickly at first. If you want the filler to stay in your skin for a long time, you should avoid it as a habit. In addition to preventing the filler from breaking down, it is also a way to take care of your skin.
  • Avoid dehydration.
    Hyaluronic acid is more effective on hydrated skin, which is caused by drinking the right amount of water for the body.

Botox

Botox is currently very popular. Botox injections help tighten the face frame, making the face tight again. In addition, if injected around the jaw area, it will help reduce the size of the jaw muscles, making the face look more V-SHAPE, making the face look slimmer and beautiful. Many people may think that Botox injections are expensive or not worth it. But in fact, Botox injections are inexpensive procedures, are safe, and the results are very clear. If you choose the right injection method, it is guaranteed that the results will be worthwhile. Looking at the results above, it may look similar to fillers. And many people are still confused and hesitant about how fillers and Botox are different. In reality, both of these fix the root cause and give quite different results.



Benefits of Botox

  • Slim face
  • Reduce forehead wrinkles
  • Reduce crow's feet wrinkles
  • Tighten pores
  • Face lift
  • Cheekbone reduction
  • Reduce the nostrils



How is Botox different from fillers?

Botox tightens the muscles and reduces the tension caused by facial expressions, such as the habit of raising your eyebrows, frowning, or wrinkling your chin frequently. These behaviors cause wrinkles on your forehead. Botox injections can help with this issue and eliminate forehead wrinkles for sure. Botox can also be used on other parts of the face. The most popular areas are wrinkles on the face, crow's feet, forehead, chin, jaw, and jawline. As for fillers, they focus on filling in areas of sagging skin due to less muscle, such as under the eyes, cheeks, or forehead and lips, which are emphasized to make them look more prominent. This is different from Botox, which focuses specifically on tightening.



How does Botox work on the body?

  • The part that is absorbed and stored in the nerve cells
    is the part that will act. And if this part is concentrated, it will make the botox last longer. The work of botox will interfere with the nervous system. As a result, the muscle groups will work less temporarily. The skin will be tighter and there will be no folds.
  • The part that is absorbed into the bloodstream.
    This part will fly through the bloodstream within 1 hour after injection and will be excreted without affecting other cells in the body.



How to prepare before getting botox injections

  • Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 1 day before getting botox injections.
  • All blood thinning supplements or vitamins should be discontinued. Pain relievers, aspirin, and NSAIDs (such as Ibruprofen and Naproxen) should be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to the injection.
  • You should inform your consulting doctor before surgery if you have any underlying diseases.
  • You should remove makeup or cleanse your face before seeing a doctor.
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not get the injection.



How to take care of yourself after botox injections

  • After injecting botox, you should avoid lying down for 3-5 hours.
    After injecting botox, you should not lie down and avoid lowering your head below the level of your heart because it will increase blood flow to your face, causing more botox to fly away. Blood flow (Metabolism) is an important factor that makes botox break down faster.
  • Avoid heat sources and strong sunlight.
    You should not put your face in areas with heat, such as various types of stoves or grilled pork or chicken shops on the side of the road. You should also avoid strong sunlight because the heat will cause the botox to break down quickly at first. If you want the botox to stay on your skin for a long time, you should avoid it as a habit. Because in addition to preventing the botox from breaking down, it is also a way to take care of your skin.
  • Always apply light compresses to your face.
    You should apply cold compresses regularly by finding a standard cold pack and thoroughly cleaning it and applying it to your chin for 3 days. After that, switch to applying hot compresses with a hot pack for another 3 days. The areas that need special compresses are the left and right sides of the chin, the area above the chin under the lower lip, and the area under the chin.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages.
    Stop drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 1 day before the Botox injection and for 3-7 days to prevent swelling from alcohol.

Thread lift

Thread lift is a tool that young people nowadays like just as much as Botox and fillers. It helps to make our skin more lifted. Thread lift is the use of dissolvable threads inserted into the skin in various areas to lift the skin. The threads have very small hooks. When inserted under the skin, the hooks will hook the tissue and muscles to lift along the threads, making the skin look tighter. In addition, when the hooks on the threads hook the inner tissues, it stimulates the body to produce collagen to repair and helps the facial skin to be more elastic. However, thread lift should never be done at a substandard clinic because it involves introducing threads or foreign objects into the body. Performing cosmetic procedures at substandard clinics can cause allergies, swelling, inflammation, facial disfigurement, and even death. However, at For V Clinic, we have experienced doctors who guarantee our ability in performing surgery or comprehensive cosmetic procedures, which are safe and effective as desired.



Advantages of thread lift

  • The results of thread lift are immediate after the procedure.
  • Helps solve the problem of sagging facial skin, which can last for a long time after thread lifting.
  • Make your face slimmer as you want. Adjust your face to V shape according to the trend.
  • Stimulates collagen contraction under the skin, which instantly tightens the skin.
  • Helps improve blood circulation, resulting in healthier facial skin.
  • Makes the skin firmer and more lifted, with long-lasting results.



What parts of the body can thread lifts be used on?

  • Thread lift for jawline and jawline
  • Eyebrow thread lift

  • Thread lift for cheeks
  • Thread lift for breast tightening



How many types of thread lifts are there?

  • Mono threads
    are smooth threads. They are mostly used on the neck, forehead, and under the eyes. Mono threads help tighten the skin but do not lift the skin layer.
  • Screw threads
    are one or two threads twisted together. These threads add volume to sunken or hollowed areas of skin and are stronger than smooth threads, making them ideal for lifting sagging skin.
  • Cog threads
    are single threads with barbs all along the thread to hold the threads in place inside the skin. The barbs act as a structure to lift sagging tissue or skin. Collagen is stimulated to be rebuilt around the threads and barbs. This type of thread is suitable for lifting the chin area and slimming the face.
  • Mono threads
    are smooth threads. They are mostly used on the neck, forehead, and under the eyes. Mono threads help tighten the skin but do not lift the skin layer.



How to prepare before having a thread lift

  • Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 1 day before the thread lift.
  • All blood-nourishing supplements or vitamins should be avoided as they will cause excessive bleeding during the thread lift.
  • You should inform your consulting doctor before surgery if you have any underlying diseases.
  • You should remove makeup or cleanse your face before seeing a doctor.



How to take care of yourself after thread lift injections

  • Avoid excessive facial movement for 3-5 days.
    Excessive facial movement after thread lift may cause the threads to shift or break. This may reduce the effectiveness of the thread lift or even cause no effect at all.
  • Avoid heat sources and strong sunlight.
    You should not put your face in areas with heat, such as various types of stoves or grilled pork or chicken shops on the side of the road. You should also avoid strong sunlight because the heat will cause the botox to break down quickly at first. If you want the botox to stay on your skin for a long time, you should avoid it as a habit. Because in addition to preventing the botox from breaking down, it is also a way to take care of your skin.
  • Avoid scratching, picking, or pressing your face.
    After the thread lift, there will be pain, swelling, and slight to moderate redness for the first 2-3 days. Do not scratch, pick, or press your face, as this may cause the thread to move or break. 
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages.
    Stop drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 1 day before the filler injection for 3-7 days to prevent swelling from alcohol and cause the threads to move or deteriorate.
