To slow down the aging process, women use special anti-age cosmetics. For a more effective result, the injection method of introducing fillers is recommended. They play the role of a “filler” of voids formed in the forehead, nasolabial triangle, and areas around the eyes. In modern cosmetology, it is possible to use fillers to correct aging skin not only from the inside, but also from the outside. For this purpose, innovative care products and filler creams have been developed.
Cream filler - what is it?
Filler is a thick gel that is usually injected under the skin. It contains components such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin, silicone, plant extracts, oils, and vitamins. But injections cause a lot of harm to health, so cosmetologists came up with the idea of applying the product directly to the surface of the face. Surprisingly, this also worked.
The cream is not only made from the same ingredients as the injection, but also has a similar principle of action. It only affects the skin from the outside, not from the inside.
Some experts argue that such a product does not affect the condition of the skin, but only visually makes wrinkles less noticeable. But even they confirm that it contains substances beneficial to the dermis.
Features of rehabilitation
To reduce the risk of developing various complications during the procedure, ice is applied to the skin. After the injection, it is contraindicated to touch your face or apply decorative cosmetics for a few more days.
In certain situations, it is recommended to visit a cosmetologist who will massage the areas treated during fillering so that the filler is evenly distributed under the skin. For the first two weeks, avoid active sports, baths and solariums. This can cause swelling and infection of areas of the skin damaged during injections.
For a week before the injections and for a few more days after the procedure, you should not take blood thinning medications (for example, aspirin), otherwise complications will arise.
The main effect of filler creams
The product fills wrinkles, making them less deep and noticeable, which gives the face youth and freshness. This is the main task of the cream.
But there are a few more additional features:
- Returns tone to the dermis;
- Launches processes aimed at regenerating the epithelium;
- Makes skin tone more even and healthy;
- Extends the durability of cosmetics.
Do not forget that all these actions are temporary. The cream works as long as you actively use it. And for those with deep wrinkles, the effect lasts as long as the product is applied to the face. Therefore, you shouldn’t count on the WOW effect that manufacturers promise.
Composition of cream filler
Main components of the product:
- Collagen is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Without it, the dermis becomes dry and thin, which is what leads to the appearance of wrinkles;
- Silicone - makes the face velvety and fills creases, which allows you to visually smooth them out. Silicone lays down a thin film that protects the skin from the negative effects of the environment.
- Hyaluronic acid is the main one in the matter of hydration. In addition, it smoothes out wrinkles and returns freshness and healthy color to the face.
Some manufacturers add elastin to the product. It replenishes the lack of natural elastin, making the dermis elastic and elastic, additionally moisturizes and participates in regeneration processes.
Not a single product for aging skin can do without vitamins, healthy oils and extracts of medicinal plants. They nourish the face, making it more youthful.
The composition of such a cream will necessarily contain reflective particles. They visually make the face more toned, fresh and rested.
The difference between injectable filler and cream
The main difference between a cream and an injection is the technology of use. The first does not need to be injected under the skin and endure pain from needles. This means that there will simply not be disastrous consequences in the form of blurred filler, addiction to the product, and many others.
Cosmetologists claim that in this case the effect will be shorter and more cosmetic than real. But there is no harm to health. Moreover, the composition of the products is almost identical.
The injections take effect immediately (which is a lot of stress for the body), but the cream will have to be used a little longer to notice the first results. But here those very reflective particles that give a visual effect come to the rescue.
In addition, the cream is cheaper than injections. It is easier to test it and understand at least an approximate reaction of the body to its use.
Filling based on hyaluronic acid
Today, filling wrinkles with hyaluronic acid . This is one of the popular options for skin rejuvenation.
However, in addition to eliminating signs of age-related changes in the form of wrinkles, hyaluronic acid is also used to correct areas on the face that have lost their shape, such as to increase the volume of the lips. This method is suitable for removing hollows in the area under the eyes. Fillers are often injected into the area of the nasolabial folds.
In this case, cosmetologists use stabilized hyaluronic acid. It differs from similar substances of synthetic origin in that the body perceives it well, therefore, having filled the wrinkles, the visual effect can be observed almost immediately after the procedure.

How to apply facial filler creams. Rules
The filler is applied after the day cream, but before the foundation (if the instructions allow, the filler can be mixed with it).

The product can be intended for the entire face or for individual areas. Here you need to look at the size of the jar and read the instructions. If you have deep wrinkles, then it is better to take the second option, then the consistency will be denser and thicker, which will allow you to achieve the best result.
If you have active facial expressions, then look in the mirror from time to time - the product may move to the surface of the skin, which does not look very neat.
Terms of use
When using filler creams, it is important to follow the instructions for use and know a few key points:
- They should be applied to well-cleaned, moisturized skin, i.e. after treatment with tonic and application of cream.
- The effect of the drug will be enhanced by the early removal of dead skin cells (deep peeling).
- The mixture is applied to problem areas in an extremely thin layer and using massage movements to prevent the cream from rolling off.
- If the annotation indicates the possibility of using the filler cream as a base for makeup, then you can safely apply decorative cosmetics (there are options for mixing with foundation).

Injection procedures
Anti-wrinkle remedy
Filling wrinkles with fillers involves injections under the skin. The introduction of hyaluronic acid serum is safe for the body. When the acid enters the subcutaneous tissue, it evens out wrinkles.
It does not act on nerve endings and does not “freeze” facial expressions, like Botox. Unlike silicone, acid will not fill wrinkles with a foreign substance that can change its location on the face over time.
By type of injection ampoules there are:
- Single-phase. 26 g of acid per 1 g of gel. The composition is used to eliminate scars, enlarge lips, change their shape and volume, and expand cheekbones.
- Two-phase. The concentration of hyaluronic acid is much lower - only 1 mg of product is required per 1 g of gel. Wrinkles and deep folds are corrected with injections. The dense structure of the drug will help in filling the cavities of the skin, improve the turgor of soft tissues, and promote cell regeneration.
The dosage of the administered product is calculated taking into account the age and characteristics of the patient’s skin.
In contour plastic surgery, fillers based on monophasic hyaluronic acid are preferable. They belong to the new generation of products. The unique structure ensures that the filler maintains volume during the first months, unlike a 2-phase gel.
Injections are carried out everywhere or locally as follows:
- Injections. Subcutaneous injection is the best way to eliminate wrinkles. They allow deep injection of acid, have a productive effect on the fading epidermis, moisturize and nourish it.
Beauty injections
- Mesotherapy. This is a cosmetic manipulation when biologically active substances are introduced into problem areas of the face that need correction. A special roller with therapeutic needles is used, which are treated with hyaluronic acid, vitamins and minerals. The result is the disappearance of scars and other skin imperfections, smoothing of wrinkles, preservation of the facial contour and shape.
Home facial mesotherapy
- Microinjection. The solution is injected to a depth of several millimeters. A thin needle is used for manipulation. The operation will maintain the shape of the face and smooth out facial wrinkles.
Injections, regardless of the method, are carried out according to the following scheme:
- First, the problem area is numbed;
- then fix the bandage, which prevents air from entering;
- when the product is injected under the skin, there is no pain, a slight tingling sensation is felt;
- The cosmetologist smooths out the appearing tubercles with soft massaging movements, and the drug is gradually absorbed.
For a certain period of time, the procedure is accompanied by an accumulation of moisture in the wrinkle area, which is attracted and retained by hyaluronic acid.
Attention! The course of injections consists of 3-4 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks.
How to use it correctly?
Cream filler should not be used frequently. Although it is not addictive, it can lead to allergies. So take breaks from time to time.
If you have small wrinkles all over your face, then take a universal product, but if you want to smooth out large wrinkles, then you will have to work in zones using a thicker product.
And remember that no cosmetics will save you from problems if you don’t take care of your beauty yourself. Do a massage and the right exercises for your face and then freshness and youth will not keep you waiting.

- Swelling or formation of hematomas, which is associated with damage to blood vessels during skin puncture (experts recommend applying heparin ointment locally).
- Inflammation and the appearance of fibrous contractures.
- Embolism of blood vessels, in which the latter are compressed and tissues die. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor!
If you have blood vessels located too close to your skin, your doctor will advise you to take special medications for 10 days that strengthen the walls of blood vessels. Otherwise, vascular damage may occur during filling.
