Hello everyone! I'm Dr. Apirak Wongsaowasup, or as many know me, Dr. Teng (License No. W. 35777), a specialist in plastic surgery, founder, and owner of Aurora Clinic. Our plastic surgery clinic is dedicated to meticulously enhancing everyone's beauty in both Suratthani and Koh Samui. Today, I'm here to talk about a topic that's always popular: "Fillers."
I believe many of you have heard the word "filler" before. Some might have had injections, while others might still be hesitant, wondering, "What exactly are fillers? Will they really make me look better? Or will I end up looking like an 'aunt' instead of 'younger'?" Today, I will answer all your questions thoroughly in Dr. Teng's style, emphasizing easy-to-understand, straightforward information, and most importantly, "natural beauty."
As a doctor who has been in the beauty industry for a long time, I have witnessed the continuous changes and advancements in this technology. "Filler" is one innovation that I am very impressed with because it can precisely, quickly, and clearly solve various beauty problems without the need for major, painful surgery.
But before we delve deeper into fillers, allow me to introduce myself and our Aurora Clinic.
Dr. Teng... A Lover of the Art of Beauty
I began my journey as a doctor with a commitment to helping and caring for people's health. However, upon encountering the art of beauty, I found it equally interesting and challenging. Seeing the smiles and increased confidence of patients after receiving our care fills my heart with indescribable joy.
Therefore, I decided to continuously study and develop myself in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine to bring the best knowledge and experience to every patient at Aurora Clinic.
My philosophy is that "true beauty comes from within." Thus, external beauty enhancement is merely a part of building confidence and bringing out the hidden beauty within to shine even brighter.
Aurora Clinic: Your Oasis of Beauty in Suratthani and Koh Samui
Aurora Clinic was founded with the intention of being an aesthetic clinic that meets international standards, fully equipped with expert medical teams and modern technology to ensure that everyone receives the best care and satisfying results.
We have two branches. The first branch is located in the heart of Suratthani, which is the center of the province, making it convenient to travel to. Our other branch is located in Koh Samui, a world-class tourist destination. Here, we are ready to welcome both Thais and foreigners who want to enhance their beauty while relaxing.
The atmosphere within our clinic is designed to be warm, relaxing, and friendly, so that everyone feels comfortable, as if they are resting rather than undergoing surgery. We pay attention to every detail, from selecting high-quality and safe products to providing impressive service, to ensure that everyone receives the best experience from Aurora Clinic.
Filler... The Anti-Aging Helper Everyone Asks About
Alright, after introducing myself and our clinic, it's time to talk about the main topic of this article: "Filler."
Filler is a substance injected under the skin to fill deep wrinkles, fine lines, or add volume to desired areas such as cheeks, chin, temples, or lips. But actually, fillers are more than just "filling."
The popularity of fillers comes from several factors. Firstly, their naturalness and safety. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers, the most popular type currently, mimic substances naturally found in our bodies, making them highly safe and naturally biodegradable over time without harmful residues.
Secondly, the fast and visible results. After filler injections, most patients can see immediate changes, whether it's shallower wrinkles, fuller cheeks, or more beautiful lips. This meets the needs of those who want quick results without long recovery times.
Thirdly, their versatility. Fillers are not limited to just filling wrinkles but can also be used to adjust facial proportions for a beautiful look, such as lengthening the chin, adding dimension to the cheeks, or even reshaping the nose without surgery. This makes fillers a comprehensive option for individuals with diverse needs.
Why is everyone asking about fillers?
The popularity of fillers is not accidental. It stems from the current demand for people who care about their appearance and want to look good at all times, coupled with the various advantages of fillers that perfectly meet those needs.
Non-surgical option: For those who fear surgery or don't want a long recovery period, fillers are a very interesting option because they are a procedure that doesn't require cutting or stitching. They can be completed quickly, allowing you to return to your daily life as usual.
Precise problem solving: Fillers can precisely address beauty concerns, whether it's localized wrinkles, skin depressions in certain areas, or improving facial contours, leading to accurate results that meet individual needs.
Natural results: When injected by an experienced doctor using the correct technique, fillers help the face look naturally younger and brighter without appearing stiff or distorted.
Increased confidence: Improved appearance naturally leads to increased self-confidence. Therefore, filler injections not only help you look better but also enhance confidence and quality of life.
Fillers... Not Just About "Age"
Many people might mistakenly think that fillers are only suitable for older individuals, but in reality, fillers can help address beauty concerns at any age.
In youth: Fillers can be used to sculpt the face into beautiful proportions, such as enhancing the chin, lips, or adding dimension to the cheeks.
In middle age: Fillers can be used to fill various wrinkles and deep lines, or to replenish areas that have started to sag, such as under the eyes, cheeks, and temples, to make the face look younger and brighter.
In old age: Fillers can be used to rejuvenate skin that has lost collagen and elastin, fill deep lines, and generally lift and tighten facial skin.
Therefore, no matter what age group you are in, if you have concerns about your appearance, fillers may be another option that can help you.
Get to Know "Hyaluronic Acid" (HA) More
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a natural substance belonging to the group of Glycosaminoglycans, which are complex sugar molecules found in connective tissues throughout our bodies, especially in the skin, joints, eyes, and other tissues.
What makes HA stand out and widely known in the beauty industry is its excellent water-holding capacity. HA molecules can attract and retain up to 1,000 times their own weight in water!
Imagine it as tiny sponges that absorb and retain moisture in our skin.
Key Roles of HA in the Body
HA plays a crucial role in our body's functions, not just in terms of beauty.
Hydrates the skin: HA is a vital component of the skin layers, helping to maintain moisture, making the skin look plump, radiant, and healthy. Sufficient HA helps reduce dry skin problems and improves skin elasticity.
Component of joint fluid: HA is a primary component of the fluid that lubricates joints, acting like a lubricant to reduce friction between bones, allowing for smooth joint movement.
Contributes to eye function: HA is a component of the vitreous humor in the eyeball, helping to maintain the moisture and shape of the eye.
Promotes wound healing: HA plays a role in stimulating new cell growth and aiding in the healing of various wounds in the body.
HA in the World of Fillers... Why is it so Popular?
Due to its outstanding water-holding and skin-moisturizing properties, HA has become the most popular main ingredient in filler production. The main reasons are:
Skin loses moisture: This leads to dry, inelastic skin and makes wrinkles appear more easily.
Joint problems begin: Reduced joint fluid leads to aches and pains or osteoarthritis.
Eyes may become dry: A decrease in HA in the vitreous humor can cause dry eye symptoms.
HA in the World of Fillers...Why is it so popular?
Due to its outstanding water-holding and skin-moisturizing properties, HA has become the most popular main ingredient in filler production. The main reasons are:
Good compatibility with the body: HA is a naturally occurring substance in our body, making it highly safe with a very low chance of allergic reactions. Naturally biodegradable: Over time, HA fillers gradually break down naturally without leaving harmful residues in the body. Provides natural results: HA fillers naturally fill in wrinkles and deep lines, making the skin look plump, radiant, and younger without making the face appear stiff. Can be dissolved: In cases of unsatisfactory results or unexpected complications, hyaluronidase enzyme can be injected to dissolve HA fillers.
How many types of HA fillers are there? How do they differ? Although most fillers primarily consist of HA, they differ in terms of molecular size, viscosity, elasticity, and cross-linking. These properties affect their suitability for use in different areas of the face and how long the filler will last.
Small molecule fillers: Suitable for injection in areas with thin and delicate skin, such as under the eyes or superficial wrinkles.
Medium molecule fillers: Suitable for injection in areas with moderate skin thickness, such as cheeks or nasolabial folds.
Large molecule fillers: Suitable for injection in areas requiring lifting or reshaping, such as the chin or temples.
Therefore, selecting the appropriate type of filler is the responsibility of the expert physician, who will assess and choose the right one to match each individual's problem and needs.
From all that has been mentioned, it is clear that Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a substance of utmost importance for the beauty and health of the skin. The use of HA in the form of fillers is an innovation that effectively and safely addresses the needs of those seeking to restore youthfulness and improve their appearance.
In my view, fillers are not just a filling substance; they are like an "art of refinement" that meticulously and precisely enhances each individual's natural beauty. When used by an experienced doctor who understands facial structure, fillers can help you look younger, brighter, and more confident.
Filler...How Does it Help Turn Back Time Like Magic?
Many might wonder if simply injecting a substance under the skin can truly make one younger. The answer is "yes, it can," but it must be done under the supervision of an experienced doctor and with quality products.
The mechanisms by which fillers help achieve a younger appearance are several:
Fillers...Replenishing What's Lost, Restoring Youth
Now, let's look at how fillers help "conjure" our faces back to youthfulness:
Replenishing lost volume: This is the most crucial primary mechanism of fillers. When fillers are injected into sunken areas like cheeks, temples, or under the eyes, they fill the empty spaces, making these areas look fuller, more dimensional, and the overall face brighter, just like we had in our youth. Imagine a deflated balloon; re-inflating it makes it plump and beautiful again. Our faces are the same.
Reducing wrinkles and deep lines: Fillers can be injected to fill various deep lines, such as nasolabial folds, tear troughs, or forehead wrinkles, making them appear shallower. The skin in those areas will visibly smooth out, similar to filling potholes on a road to make travel smoother. Facial wrinkles are the same; when filled, they make the face look younger and brighter.
Reshaping the face to achieve desired proportions: Fillers can be used to sculpt the face into beautiful proportions, such as lengthening the chin, creating more defined cheekbones, or filling in hollow temples. Balancing facial features helps the overall face look younger and more attractive, like arranging elements in a picture to create a more beautiful and interesting image.
Hydrating the skin: HA fillers have the ability to retain water. Injecting fillers thus helps increase skin moisture, making the skin look radiant, bright, and healthier, like watering withered plants to make them fresh and vibrant again.
Stimulating collagen production (long-term): Although the primary effect of fillers comes from filling, in the long term, some types of fillers can also help stimulate collagen production in the skin, which will make the skin stronger and more elastic over time.
Where to Inject Fillers? What Problems Can They Solve?
We will now delve into the details of each facial area where fillers can effectively address beauty concerns. It's like having a "filler map" that will help you understand how fillers can "create" youthfulness and beauty.
1. Under Eye/Tear Trough Filler
Problem: The under-eye area is another spot where signs of aging are clearly visible, whether it's deep tear troughs that make the face look tired and dull, or dark circles due to fat loss.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers in the under-eye area helps fill deep hollows, making the skin under the eyes smoother, brighter, and reducing shadows that make them appear dark. It also helps the eyes look brighter and younger.
Results: A brighter, less tired face; more lively eyes.
Important note: Under-eye filler injections require caution and precise technique because the skin in this area is thin and delicate. Choosing an experienced doctor is very important.
2. Cheek Filler
Problem: As we age, fat in the cheek area gradually decreases, making the cheeks look flat, sunken, lacking dimension, and potentially making nasolabial folds more prominent.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the cheeks helps replenish volume, making the cheeks look fuller, more dimensional, and lifting the overall face, resulting in a younger, brighter, and more vibrant appearance. It also helps reduce the prominence of nasolabial folds.
Results: Fuller, beautifully contoured cheeks; a younger and brighter face; slightly more defined jawline.
Important note: Cheek filling should be done in moderation to achieve natural results without looking "overdone" or "puffy."
3. Nasolabial Folds Filler
Problem: Nasolabial folds, or the lines running from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth, are prominent wrinkles that appear with age, making the face look older and sad.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the nasolabial folds helps fill deep lines, making the face look smoother and younger.
Results: Shallower nasolabial folds; a younger and brighter face.
Important note: In some cases, nasolabial folds may be caused by sagging cheeks. Injecting filler into the cheeks as well may improve the results.
4. Chin Filler
Problem: A short, recessed, or ill-defined chin can make the overall face appear unbalanced and lacking dimension.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the chin can help lengthen and refine the chin's shape, or fill in a dimpled chin to balance it with other parts of the face, making the overall face look sharper and more beautifully proportioned.
Results: A longer, more refined chin; a more dimensional and balanced face; a sharper jawline.
Important note: Chin reshaping with fillers should consider the overall facial proportions to achieve harmonious and natural results.
5. Temple Filler
Problem: As we age, the temples often sink, making the face look hollow, tired, and the cheekbones more prominent.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the temples helps fill them out, making the face look younger, brighter, and more balanced, reducing the prominence of the cheekbones.
Results: Fuller temples; a younger, brighter, and more balanced face.
Important note: Temple filling should be done carefully to avoid looking "bumpy" or unnatural.
6. Forehead Filler
Problem: Forehead wrinkles or a flat, unbeautiful forehead.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the forehead can help make the forehead look beautifully rounded, reduce wrinkles, and make the overall face look younger and more dimensional.
Results: Smoother, beautifully rounded forehead; reduced wrinkles.
Important note: Forehead filler injections should be performed by a skilled doctor to avoid pressing on blood vessels.
7. Lip Filler
Problem: Thin lips, undefined shape, dry lips, or wrinkles around the lips.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the lips can help make them look plump, hydrated, beautifully shaped, and reduce wrinkles around the lips.
Results: Plumper, hydrated, beautifully shaped lips; reduced wrinkles around the lips.
Important note: Lip filling should be done in moderation to achieve natural results, avoiding a "duck lip" or "sausage lip" appearance.
8.Nose Filler (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty)
Problem: A nose that is not prominent, lacks shape, or has an uneven bridge.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the nose can help make the nose appear more prominent and beautifully shaped, smooth out the bridge, or lift the tip without surgery.
Results: A more prominent and beautifully shaped nose as desired.
Important note: Nose filler injections are a procedure that must be performed by an experienced doctor who has a thorough understanding of nasal structure, and the limitations of nose reshaping with fillers should be understood.
9. Marionette Lines Filler
Problem: Lines running from the corners of the mouth down to the chin, resembling a puppet's mouth, making the face look sad and old.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the marionette lines helps fill deep lines, making the face look brighter and younger.
Results: Shallower marionette lines; a brighter and younger face.
10. Jawline Filler
Problem: An undefined, sagging jawline, or a slight double chin.
How fillers help: Injecting HA fillers into the jawline can help sharpen its definition, lift the skin around the jaw, and reduce sagging, making the face look slimmer and younger.
Results: A sharper jawline; tighter skin around the jaw; a slimmer face.
As you can see, fillers can be used to address a variety of beauty concerns on the face, and the results vary depending on the injection area, the amount used, and the type of filler.
The most important thing is to consult with an experienced doctor so that they can thoroughly assess your facial skin condition and beauty concerns, and plan the most suitable treatment for you. At Aurora Clinic, we are ready to provide consultation and full care to all of you, so that you receive the most beautiful and natural results.
In-depth Look at Fillers Approved by the Thai FDA
As a doctor who has been in this field for a long time, I have experience using a variety of filler brands, and each brand has its own strengths and characteristics. Today, I will explain them in detail in Dr. Teng's style, emphasizing easy understanding and practical benefits for your decision-making.
Important Note: What I am about to discuss is solely my personal opinion and experience in using various products at Aurora Clinic in both Suratthani and Koh Samui. The choice of filler should always be under the diagnosis and recommendation of an experienced physician only, as each individual has different skin conditions and needs.

Cons: Results are not immediate, taking approximately 4-6 weeks to appear, and may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results.
Choosing the right filler brand is complex and requires considering many factors. No single filler brand is best for everyone, as each brand has different strengths and limitations. The most important thing is to consult an experienced doctor to assess your facial skin condition and needs in detail, and recommend the most suitable type of filler for you.
How to Choose Fillers Safely and Achieve Satisfying Results?
Currently, there are many filler brands and types to choose from, each with different properties and suitability for use. Choosing the right filler is therefore very important to achieve good and safe results.
1.Choose quality and certified fillers.
Look for standard products: The first thing to prioritize is choosing fillers that are certified by reliable authorities, such as the Thai FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or other international agencies. Certification means the product has undergone a certain level of quality and safety inspection.
Know the brand and origin: You should ask your doctor about the brand of filler to be used and the origin of the product. Fillers from reputable companies with a long history are usually more trustworthy.
Check the label and registration number: Before injection, check the product label to ensure it is genuine, has a correct registration number, and is not expired.
2. Consult an experienced specialist doctor.
Choose a knowledgeable and understanding doctor: Filler injection is a medical procedure that requires knowledge and understanding of facial structure, correct injection techniques, and appropriate product selection. An experienced doctor can accurately assess your problems and needs and recommend the appropriate type of filler for each area and your skin condition.
Check the doctor's history and work: Before deciding, you should study the doctor's work history, qualifications, and portfolio. You can also look at reviews from previous patients or ask acquaintances who have had filler injections with that doctor.
Discuss and ask in detail: During the consultation, you should openly and honestly discuss your concerns, goals, and expectations. Ask questions about the type of filler to be used, injection techniques, expected results, risks, and post-injection care.
3. Choose a standard and trustworthy clinic.
Check business license: A legally operating aesthetic clinic must have a medical facility operating license. You should ensure that the clinic you choose has a valid license.
Observe cleanliness and hygiene: A good clinic should prioritize the cleanliness and hygiene of the premises, instruments, and equipment.
Modern equipment and technology: Standardized clinics often have modern equipment and technology to ensure effective and safe treatment.
Good management system: A good clinic should have a systematic appointment, information provision, and follow-up system.
4. Understand the types of fillers.
HA fillers (Hyaluronic Acid): These are the most popular fillers due to their high safety, natural biodegradability, and wide variety of types suitable for different areas.
Other types of fillers: Besides HA, there are other types of fillers such as Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) or Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA), which have different properties and durations. The doctor will recommend the most suitable type for you.
Don't fall for surprisingly cheap fillers: Quality fillers usually have a reasonable price. If you find a clinic offering surprisingly cheap prices, be cautious, as it might be substandard or counterfeit filler.
5. Understand potential risks and side effects.
Ask about risks: The doctor should inform you about potential risks and side effects of filler injection, such as swelling, redness, bruising, or slight pain at the injection site, which usually resolve within a few days.
Know the signs of complications: You should know what the signs of severe complications are and contact your doctor immediately if any abnormal symptoms occur.
6. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Ask all your questions: Before deciding to get filler injections, you should ask your doctor about everything you are unsure about, whether it's about the product, injection technique, expected results, aftercare, or cost.
Mutual understanding: Detailed discussion and understanding with your doctor will help you feel confident and reduce anxiety.
7. Consider reviews and opinions from actual users.
Read reviews: Reading reviews from people who have received services from that clinic or doctor can provide you with additional information and an overview of the treatment experience.
Ask close acquaintances: If you know anyone who has had filler injections with good results, try asking them for information and recommendations.
Choosing safe and satisfying filler injections requires careful consideration of many aspects, from selecting quality products, choosing an expert doctor, selecting a standard clinic, to understanding the types of fillers and potential risks. At Aurora Clinic, we prioritize safety and the best results for all patients. We use only international standard fillers, approved by the FDA, and injected by our experienced and skilled medical team. We provide close consultation and care so you can be confident you will receive the best treatment and achieve beautiful, natural results.
Filler Injection Process...Easier Than You Think!
For anyone who has never had fillers before, you might be worried about the procedure. I assure you it's much easier than you think.
Consult with a doctor: The doctor will assess and plan your treatment.
Clean the skin: Staff will clean the skin in the area to be injected.
Apply anesthetic cream: The doctor will apply an anesthetic cream to the injection area to reduce discomfort.
Inject filler: The doctor will slowly inject the filler under the skin in the desired area.
Massage: After injection, the doctor will gently massage the area to ensure the filler is evenly distributed.
Generally, the filler injection process takes only about 15-30 minutes, and you can go home immediately afterward without any recovery time.
Self-Care After Filler Injections...To Maintain Your Beautiful Results for Longer
Although filler injection is a procedure that doesn't require recovery time, self-care afterward is important to achieve good and long-lasting results.
Avoid touching or massaging the injected area: For the first 24 hours after injection, avoid touching or massaging the injected area, as this may cause the filler to shift.
Apply cold compress: If there is swelling, redness, or bruising, a cold compress can be applied to reduce the symptoms.
Avoid heat: Avoid activities that involve heat, such as saunas or strenuous exercise, for the first 2-3 days after injection.
Drink plenty of water: Drinking a lot of water will help the filler maintain moisture and last longer.
Avoid heavy makeup: For the first 24 hours after injection, avoid heavy makeup to reduce the risk of infection.
Follow up with your doctor: You should return for your scheduled follow-up appointment to monitor your treatment results.
Risks and Potential Side Effects of Filler Injections
Although filler injection is a relatively safe procedure, some side effects may occur, such as swelling, redness, bruising, or slight pain at the injection site. These symptoms usually resolve on their own within 2-3 days.
However, in rare cases, more severe side effects may occur, such as infection, allergic reaction to the filler, or other complications. Therefore, choosing to have filler injections with an experienced doctor and a standard clinic is very important to reduce the risk of these side effects.
At Aurora Clinic, we prioritize patient safety above all else. Our medical team has a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and uses correct injection techniques to minimize the risk of various side effects.
