Homonym: Fillers (Cosmetics)
Fillers are substances used in cosmetic procedures to enhance facial features, reduce wrinkles, and restore volume. Common types of fillers include hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid. These materials are injected into specific areas of the face, such as the lips, cheeks, and under the eyes, to achieve a more youthful appearance.
The effects of fillers are temporary, typically lasting from six months to two years, depending on the type used and the area treated. While generally safe, potential side effects can include swelling, bruising, and allergic reactions. It's essential to consult a qualified professional for treatment.
