Step 1: Research and Choose the Right Clinic

Your results depend heavily on where and who performs your treatment.

✅ Look for a licensed aesthetic clinic in Malaysia with certified doctors.
✅ Check the brands of fillers used — reputable clinics offer FDA-approved fillers such as Juvederm, Saypha, Hyabell, Deusaderm, Radiesse, and Novuma.
✅ Read reviews and before/after photos for reassurance.

💡 Tip: Avoid unlicensed salons or home-based injectors — safety always comes first.

Step 2: Consultation with an Aesthetic Doctor

At your consultation, the doctor will:

• Assess your facial structure and skin condition

• Ask about your goals (anti-aging, contouring, volume restoration)

• Explain which filler type suits you best (HA fillers, CaHA fillers, collagen stimulators)

• Share the expected results, risks, and downtime

This is your chance to ask questions and clarify concerns.

Step 3: Preparing for Treatment

Before your appointment:

• Avoid alcohol, aspirin, or blood-thinning supplements 24–48 hours before (to reduce bruising)

• Arrive with a clean face (no heavy makeup)

• Inform your doctor if you have allergies or medical conditions

Step 4: The Injection Process

Here’s what happens during treatment:

1. Cleansing & Numbing – Your face is cleaned, and numbing cream may be applied.

2. Precise Injection – Using fine needles or cannulas, the filler is carefully injected into targeted areas (lips, cheeks, jawline, under-eyes, etc.).

3. Shaping & Massage – The doctor may gently massage the area to shape and smooth the filler.

⏱️ The whole procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes.

Step 5: Immediate Results

One of the biggest advantages of dermal fillers is that you’ll see results immediately after treatment:

• Fuller lips

• Sharper jawline

• Smoother under-eyes

• Reduced wrinkles or folds

There may be mild swelling or redness, but this typically subsides in a few days.

Step 6: Aftercare & Recovery

To ensure the best results:

• Avoid touching or pressing the treated area for 24 hours

• Skip intense exercise for 1–2 days

• Avoid alcohol and excessive heat (sauna, hot yoga) for 48 hours

• Apply a cold compress if needed for swelling

Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

Step 7: Longevity and Maintenance

How long fillers last depends on the type used and area treated:

• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (Juvederm, Saypha, Hyabell, Deusaderm) – 6–12 months

• Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers (Radiesse, Novuma) – 12–18 months

• Collagen Stimulators (Novuma, Deusaderm) – Up to 24 months with gradual collagen improvement

Regular touch-ups help maintain results.
