What exactly is Filler?
Filler is a substance categorized as hyaluronic acid (HA).
When injected into the layers beneath the skin, it aids in rejuvenating and tightening the skin, resulting in a smoother appearance.
The current Dermal Filler in use is HA, part of the polysaccharide
group naturally present in the body, including the skin and soft bones. Upon mixing with water, it transforms into a gel-like substance
and can naturally break down over time through body enzymes, particularly Hyaluronidase, ensuring its safety.
Furthermore, HA undergoes a Cross-Linking process to enhance durability and extend its longevity
when injected into facial regions.
Restylane Filler
Restylane Filler is a group of hyaluronic acid
dermal fillers with high safety standards. Due to its close resemblance to the hyaluronic acid naturally present in our bodies,
it does not provoke resistance or cause allergic reactions. Moreover, it can completely dissolve without any residual substances.
Restylane Filler has been manufactured in Sweden for over 24 years and has gained widespread acceptance
from physicians globally. It is certified as safe by both the US FDA and Thai FDA.
Immediate results can be observed, helping the skin retain moisture, adding suppleness, and restoring a youthful appearance.
NASHA and OBT: How They Differ
Both NASHA and OBT Dermal Fillers share the quality of enhancing tissues in the skin, providing increased firmness, tightness, and reducing the appearance of various deep wrinkles on the face. This results in a natural, youthful look in a short period. They are highly safe as they can naturally dissolve.
NASHA Technology:
NASHA Technology is a gel-based, shape-retaining technology that adapts well to the injected skin area, appearing natural and minimizing the risk of allergies or skin irritations. It is highly effective in providing a lifting effect. The products selected by Chiang Mai ALIST Clinic using this innovative technology include Restylane LYFT, Restylane Classic, and Restylane Vital Light.
OBT Technology:
OBT Technology is a mesh-like technology with a soft, flexible gel suitable for individuals with thin skin or delicate areas, such as the lip line. It is effective in adding volume, enhancing color, creating well-defined lips, and achieving results that are soft, smooth, and naturally beautiful. The product selected by Chiang Mai ALIST Clinic using this innovative technology is Restylane KYESS.
Technology of Filler
Naturally, Hyaluronic acid (HA) can be naturally dissolved by the enzyme Hyaluronidase produced by the body. This natural dissolution causes HA to have a lifespan of only 2-3 days. Due to this, a Cross-Linking process is introduced to increase durability. The Cross-Linking process involves different technologies, resulting in different properties for each brand of filler. Galderma's Dermal Fillers combine both NASHA Technology and OBT Technology to achieve the most comprehensive and natural-looking results in addressing various concerns.
Neuramis Filler
Neuramis is a Hyaluronic Acid-based filler from South Korea, which is FDA-approved in both Thailand and the United States. It has a smooth texture, making it easy to inject and providing a treatment result that appears quite natural and smooth. Neuramis Deep, with its highly effective gel, is suitable for deep facial injections, such as chin augmentation and cheek sculpting, but may not be suitable for injecting in areas with thinner skin, like under the eyes.
Neuramis Lidocaine Volume Filler
Neuramis, a filler from South Korea, is a Hyaluronic Acid-based filler closely resembling substances found in the human body. It naturally dissolves without leaving any residues in the body and is certified by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM), and the Thai Food and Drug Administration (THFDA). This certification ensures that Neuramis is a standard, effective, and safe filler.

Where Can Filler Be Injected?
Filler helps to plump and enhance various facial areas, providing natural-looking firmness. This includes defining facial features such as sharper jawlines, adding dimension to the face, and filling various areas like the chin, under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, cheeks, forehead, décolletage, neck, hands, lips, and temples.
- Under-eye Filler: Adds fullness to the under-eye area, especially addressing issues caused by lack of sleep, inadequate care, or aging. It helps with sagging, dark circles, and eye bags.
- Chin Filler: Adjusts the facial proportions around the chin, making it look more defined and natural. It eliminates concerns about sagging chin due to aging.
- Lip Filler: Enhances lip definition, providing a firm and plump appearance. It fills in lip lines, leaving the lips smooth and beautiful without the dryness experienced before.
- Cheek Filler: Reduces various wrinkles, giving a tight and moisturized look. Deep cheek lines appear tighter, contributing to a naturally youthful appearance.
- Forehead Filler: Modifies the facial structure in the forehead area, making it look more proportional and reducing wrinkles and lines caused by age or certain facial expressions. This significantly diminishes the appearance of forehead wrinkles.
- Temple Filler: Addresses sunken or hollow temples, restoring fullness and providing a more youthful appearance to the face.
How Long Does Filler Last?
The injection of filler typically takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the injected area. Busy individuals or those with limited time can still undergo the procedure, and results are often visible immediately after the injection. If there are red marks from the needle, they usually fade to normal within 4-5 days. The filler gel substance gradually integrates with the skin over a period of 2-3 weeks. The longevity of the filler depends on various factors, such as the amount of filler used and the depth of the injected layer. Generally, the effects of a single filler treatment can last for about 1-2 years, with Neuramis Deep lasting approximately 6-12 months and Neuramis Volume lasting around 12-24 months.
