Naturally Lifted and Enhanced Facial Contours

Fillers are most often based on hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the skin and helps retain moisture. Fillers are perfect for those who want to restore volume, enhance facial shape, or gently soften signs of aging in a natural way. The treatment can be tailored to your individual needs and goals, typically achieving a subtle, youthful effect that harmonizes with your unique appearance.
 
At Vaasa smiles, we have chosen to work with two different filler product families, Restylane and Juvederm, because they are well-proven and offer high-quality results. Both product lines are based on hyaluronic acid and have undergone extensive clinical trials to ensure safety and effectiveness. With these top-rated fillers, we can customize the treatment for each patient's unique needs, whether the goal is to add subtle volume, smooth lines, or create more defined contours. Restylane and Juvederm are internationally recognized and used worldwide for their reliable and long-lasting results.

Restylane

Restylane is an injectable filler based on stabilized hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body and helps keep the skin hydrated and plump. Restylane is non-animal based, meaning the hyaluronic acid used is synthetically produced and does not come from animals. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions and makes it safe for most skin types.

Restylane products are scientifically designed to mimic the body’s own hyaluronic acid and have a composition that is 99% similar to the natural substance found in the skin. Restylane is used to smooth out wrinkles, add volume to the lips, cheeks, and jawline, and restore the skin’s elasticity and contour. The effect is immediate and natural-looking, but not permanent—depending on the product and treatment area, results typically last between 6 and 18 months.

Restylane is one of the most extensively studied filler types worldwide, with over 40 million treatments performed over the past 20 years. Its proven effectiveness and safety profile have made it a popular and trusted product for aesthetic treatments around the world.

Juvederm

Juvederm is a non-animal injectable filler made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that binds moisture and adds volume. Just like Restylane, Juvederm is designed to provide immediate and long-lasting, but not permanent, results. Juvederm is used to smooth wrinkles, plump cheeks and lips, and restore the skin's volume and contour.

Juvederm has been proven to be safe and effective in clinical studies, with millions of treatments performed worldwide. The filler is formulated to closely resemble the skin’s own hyaluronic acid, which means it is naturally broken down by the body over time without leaving any residue. Treatments with Juvederm typically last between 6 to 24 months, depending on skin type, treatment area, and the specific Juvederm product used.

Long-lasting but not permanent results

Injections with hyaluronic acid fillers do not provide permanent results. How long the filler injections last varies from person to person. In some people, the body metabolizes hyaluronic acid faster than in others. Repeat treatment is recommended to maintain the results.

Does the filler treatment hurt?

Certain areas are more sensitive than others; for example, lips tend to be sensitive during filler or lip flip treatments, but most people handle it well. If needed, we can apply a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia (similar to dental anesthesia) before the filler treatment. Additionally, many fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which makes the procedure more comfortable. The needles used are also specially designed, making the treatment more efficient.

Who is not suitable for filler treatments?

  • People with multiple allergies, allergy to hyaluronic acid-based products, allergy to anesthesia (lidocaine), or allergy to bee/wasp stings.
  • Bleeding disorders, active skin diseases, infection or inflammation in the area to be treated, or a tumor in the area.
  • Isotretinoin and Bisphosphonate treatment.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
Frequently Asked Questions from Patients

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, especially abundant in the skin, connective tissue, and eyes. Its main function is to bind moisture—hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, making it a powerful hydrator. This helps the skin feel soft, supple, and plump. In the body, hyaluronic acid also helps lubricate joints and maintain the elasticity and cushioning of tissues.

In skincare and aesthetic treatments, hyaluronic acid is used as an injectable material in fillers to restore volume and fullness to the skin. Because it is biocompatible—meaning the body recognizes it as a natural substance—the risk of allergic reactions is reduced, making hyaluronic acid a safe and effective option for skincare.

The swelling usually goes down after one to two days. There is always a risk of bruising with injection treatments. If you tend to bleed a lot or for a long time and would like to have the treatment done at the same time as your consultation, we ask that you contact us beforehand so we can plan the treatment to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible.

The effects of fillers usually last between 6 to 24 months, depending on the type of filler, the treatment area, and individual factors such as skin type and lifestyle.

The results are visible immediately after the treatment. Any swelling or redness may occur right after but usually disappears within a few days. However, it typically takes 2–4 weeks for the filler to fully integrate and feel like a natural part of the skin and contours, especially depending on the treatment area and the desired outcome. During this period, the filler gradually integrates, making it look and feel like your own skin and bone structure for a natural and long-lasting result.

Yes, filler treatments are safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. However, it's important to follow aftercare guidelines and discuss any health conditions with your practitioner before the treatment.

Some areas may be more sensitive, but most people experience only mild discomfort. Many fillers contain anesthetics that reduce pain, and a numbing cream can be applied if desired.

Common side effects include swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites. These are temporary and usually go away within a few days. Uncommon side effects are always discussed before treatment so that you feel safe and informed.

Yes, fillers based on hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if necessary. This makes the treatment adjustable, providing extra reassurance for you as a patient. This procedure can only be performed by doctors or dentists with a special permit. At Vaasamiles, dentist Jenni Forss performs this treatment.

Yes, fillers can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as Botox or skincare treatments to achieve a complete and natural result. We recommend creating an individualized treatment plan that suits your goals.

It is recommended to avoid intense exercise, sauna, alcohol, and direct sunlight during the first 24–48 hours to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising.
