The advent of non-invasive beauty methods has opened a new era for the aesthetic industry. Now, possessing a radiant, youthful appearance is no longer a distant dream. One of the most popular solutions is the use of Filler (by Volume), which delivers immediate and safe results. At NP SPA MASSAGE, we constantly update and apply the most advanced technologies to help our clients achieve perfect beauty in the most subtle and natural way.
Understanding Filler (by Volume) & How does it work?
The nature of Filler
Filler, also known as a dermal filler, is a compound primarily composed of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). This is a natural substance found in the human body that acts as a water-binding molecule, helping to maintain moisture, elasticity, and smoothness of the skin. Due to its high biocompatibility, HA-based Filler has been approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and is widely used in the field of internal aesthetics.
The filling and shaping mechanism of Filler
Unlike botox, which relaxes muscles, filler works by filling the empty spaces in the tissues beneath the skin. When injected into a specific area, the HA molecules immediately bind with water and increase in volume, thereby filling static wrinkles, adding volume to deficient areas such as the lips, cheeks, and temples, and reshaping facial contours like the chin and nose.
What are the benefits of Filler (by Volume)?
Filler offers dramatic facial changes without surgery, with many outstanding aesthetic benefits:
- Skin rejuvenation, wrinkle removal: Effectively fills static wrinkles such as laugh lines, forehead lines, and mouth corners, helping the skin become plump and smooth.
- Non-surgical aesthetic shaping:
- Lip augmentation: Helps create fuller, more attractive lips, correcting thin or uneven lips.
- V-line chin shaping: Improves a receding or short chin, creating a slim, harmonious chin shape that complements the overall face.
- Nose augmentation: Helps create a higher and more refined nose bridge naturally without surgery.
- Cheek and temple augmentation: Addresses hollow cheeks, high cheekbones, and sunken temples, making the face appear fuller and more benign.
- Improving hollow under-eyes: Fills the tear trough area, reduces dark circles, and gives the eyes a fresher, more vibrant look.
The outstanding advantages of Filler
- Non-surgical, painless: It is a minimally invasive procedure that typically only requires topical anesthesia and is performed quickly. You can resume normal activities immediately after the injection.
- Immediate results: Unlike other methods, the results of filler injections are clearly visible right after the procedure.
- High biocompatibility: High-quality fillers (usually Hyaluronic Acid) have a structure similar to the natural substances in the body, ensuring safety and minimizing the risk of irritation.
- Flexible and adjustable: If the results are not satisfactory, HA-based fillers can be partially or completely dissolved with an enzyme, providing complete peace of mind.
Required Filler volume and common application areas
The amount of filler needed is closely dependent on your aesthetic goals and the area to be improved. There is no one-size-fits-all formula, because natural beauty comes from harmony and balance. Below is detailed information on dosages and common filler injection sites to help you better visualize your beauty journey.
Filler dosage by area (measured in cc or ml)
There is no universal formula for everyone. A specialist will assess your tissue deficit, skin elasticity, and desires to determine the most appropriate dosage. Below are common reference dosage levels:
- Filling nasolabial folds (laugh lines): About 1 – 2 cc per side. This dosage helps to smooth deep wrinkles from the nose wings to the corners of the mouth, restoring a youthful appearance and erasing signs of aging.
- Lip augmentation (plump lips, heart-shaped lips): About 0.5 – 2 cc. Depending on the desired lip shape, the doctor will use an appropriate dosage to create fullness, a sharp and balanced lip border.
- Filling hollow cheeks (creating baby cheeks): About 1 – 3 cc per side. This is an effective solution for hollow cheeks and high cheekbones, making the face appear fuller and more benign.
- V-line chin shaping: About 1 – 3 cc. Filler helps to lengthen and sharpen the chin, shaping a delicate V-line without surgery.
- Non-surgical nose augmentation: About 0.5 – 1 cc. A small amount of filler can help raise the bridge of the nose, straighten it, and create a lifted tip, giving the side profile a more divine look.
- Temple augmentation: About 1 – 2 cc per side. Full temples help the face look more balanced, harmonious, and younger.
- Filling under-eye hollows (tear troughs): About 0.5 – 1 cc per side. This is a sensitive area that requires a very small dose to fill deep hollows, reducing dark circles and a tired appearance.
Common filler application areas to create comprehensive beauty
Filler is a versatile “sculptor” that can reshape beauty in many different areas of the face:
Mid-face:
- Laugh lines: A “golden” spot to erase wrinkles and achieve significant rejuvenation.
- Cheeks: Create a baby-cheek effect or a sophisticated high-cheekbone lift.
- Nose: Augment the bridge, reshape the tip.
- Under-eye hollows: Fill the sunken area under the eyes.
Lower-face:
- Lips: Create full, alluring lips.
- Chin: Shape a V-line chin, correct a receding chin.
- Jawline: Create a sharp, slender jawline.
Upper-face:
- Temples: Fill sunken temples, helping to balance the face.
- Forehead: Fill a sunken forehead, creating a high, full forehead (less common).
Important note: Determining the correct dosage and injection site must be done by a highly qualified and experienced doctor. The doctor will examine, analyze your facial structure, and advise on a suitable treatment plan to ensure beautiful, natural results and absolute safety.
Filler injection process & secrets to long-lasting beauty
To ensure the journey of sculpting beauty with fillers achieves perfect and safe results, adhering to a standard medical procedure and a scientific care regimen is key.
How does the filler injection process work?
A professional filler session usually lasts about 30-60 minutes and is meticulously performed through the following steps to ensure maximum precision and comfort for you:
- Consultation with an expert: The doctor will directly examine, analyze your facial structure, assess the skin area needing improvement, and listen carefully to your wishes. This is the foundational step to building a personalized beauty plan.
- Choosing the “golden” material: Based on the injection site and aesthetic goal (e.g., creating firmness for the chin, softness for the lips), the doctor will advise on the most suitable type of filler and dosage (in cc).
- Perfect surface preparation: The treatment area will be deeply cleansed and thoroughly disinfected to prevent any risk of infection. Then, a layer of numbing cream will be applied to ensure you are completely relaxed and feel no pain during the process.
- The art of delicate sculpting: The doctor uses a specialized needle with an ultra-fine tip (cannula) to introduce the filler into the predetermined skin layer. Each movement is performed slowly and precisely to adjust and shape the contours softly and naturally.
- Post-care instructions: Immediately after the injection, the doctor will check the results and provide detailed, invaluable instructions on how to care for the area at home so the filler can stabilize and achieve its maximum effect.
The golden guide: aftercare for filler injections to optimize results
The final result heavily depends on how you care for it in the first few days. Please strictly follow these guidelines:
- In the first 6 – 12 hours:
- Do not touch: Absolutely avoid touching, massaging, or applying strong pressure to the injected area to allow the filler to settle stably in the skin tissue.
- Limit strong facial expressions: Avoid laughing loudly or opening your mouth too wide to prevent the filler from shifting, especially in the laugh line and lip areas.
- Keep the area clean: Do not apply makeup or any cosmetics to the treated skin area.
- In the first 1 – 3 days after injection:
- Stay away from high temperatures: Do not use a sauna, take hot baths, or perform high-intensity exercise. Heat and sweat can increase swelling and affect the filler.
- Avoid stimulants: Minimize alcohol, tobacco, and other alcoholic beverages as they can increase the risk of swelling and bruising.
- Sleeping position: Try to sleep on your back to avoid putting pressure on your face, which could affect the filler’s shape.
- In the first 1-2 weeks:
- Pause other skin treatments: Do not go to a spa, have a facial massage, peel, laser, or use any heat-based beauty devices on the treated area.
- Drink enough water: Drinking plenty of water helps the filler to bind with water better, increasing its filling and plumping effect.
- Avoid hard and chewy foods: If you had filler injections in the chin, laugh lines, or lips, opt for soft foods to keep jaw movements gentle.
- Long-term care:
- Follow-up and check-ups: The effect of the filler will be most noticeable after about 2 weeks when it has fully stabilized. Please return for a follow-up appointment as scheduled by your doctor.
- Protect skin from the sun: Always use sunscreen with an SPF of 30+ or higher to protect your skin and maintain long-lasting results.
- Plan for your next touch-up: Filler can last from 9-24 months depending on the type and your body’s metabolism. Consult your doctor about when to schedule a maintenance injection to always maintain a fresh, youthful appearance.

What factors determine the investment cost for beauty?
To make an informed choice, you should consider the following factors instead of just looking at the final number:
- Filler brand and origin: This is the biggest influencing factor. High-end filler lines from the US, Switzerland, France (such as Juvederm, Restylane, Teosyal) are priced significantly higher than filler lines from Korea. The difference lies in the manufacturing technology, purity, particle structure, and duration of effect.
- Dosage used (number of cc): The amount of filler needed for each person is completely different. The doctor will examine, assess the degree of volume loss, and prescribe the most appropriate dosage to ensure natural, harmonious results. The larger the treatment area or the deeper the imperfection, the higher the cost.
- Doctor’s skill and facility’s reputation: The cost you pay is not just for the product but also for safety and aesthetics. Large hospitals or specialized dermatology clinics with highly skilled and experienced doctors often have slightly higher prices, but in return, you get peace of mind and worthy results.
- Pricing policies and promotions: Many cosmetic establishments frequently have promotional programs for new customers or combo packages for multiple areas to help optimize costs effectively.
Choosing the right amount of Filler (by Volume) is about perfecting your unique features, not turning you into someone else.
Frequently asked questions about Filler (by Volume) (FAQ)
Is it safe to inject 2-3cc of filler at once?
It is completely safe if performed by a qualified doctor at a reputable facility. A doctor will know how to divide the dosage and inject it into different areas of the face in a single session appropriately to ensure safety and effectiveness.
How long after a filler injection can I get a touch-up?
Usually, after about 2-4 weeks, when the filler has fully settled and the swelling has subsided, you can return for the doctor to check. If you feel further improvement is needed, the doctor will advise on a suitable touch-up dose.
How do I know if the dosage recommended by the doctor is reasonable and not an upsell?
Choose reputable facilities where the doctor will conduct a thorough examination, listen to your desires, and clearly explain why you need that specific dosage. A conscientious doctor will always prioritize natural results and the client’s safety above all else.
If the result is not as desired, are there any side effects to dissolving the filler?
A major advantage of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers is that they can be completely dissolved by the enzyme Hyaluronidase. The dissolving process is quite safe, quick, and helps return the injected area to its original state if you are not satisfied with the result.
