AestheFill explained

AestheFill is a collagen-stimulating injectable made by a Korean company. It contains PDLLA microspheres that are mixed with sterile water before use. It is used to treat volume loss, hollows and fine lines in a gradual way.

How AestheFill works

The powder is mixed with water and injected into the deep dermis or fat layer with a needle or cannula. The PDLLA particles trigger a mild healing response that builds new collagen around them. The particles slowly break down over time while the new collagen remains. Unlike hyaluronic acid filler, most of the change is not visible on the day.

Who AestheFill is for

• Hollow temples or cheeks
• Volume loss after weight loss or with age
• Thin, crepey skin that needs firmness
• People who want slow, natural change
• Those who want a longer-lasting option than HA filler

Who should avoid AestheFill

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• Active infection or inflammation at the site
• People with autoimmune disease or a keloid history, unless cleared by a doctor
• Anyone needing instant results for an event
• Lips, which are not a typical area for this product
