How does treatment with fillers work?
Fillers (usually hyaluronic acid-based) are gel injections that add volume, define contours or fill out lines. The most common areas are the lips, nasolabial folds, cheekbones, jawline and chin. Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the body that binds water — it gives a natural result and can in most cases be dissolved with an antidote (hyaluronidase) if you are not satisfied. In Sweden, filler may only be injected by a licensed physician, dentist or nurse after a consultation. Before an aesthetic injection treatment, a cooling-off period of at least two days applies after you have received the information about the treatment. If the same type of injection treatment is repeated within six months, no new cooling-off period is required.

How the treatment is carried out — step by step
- 1
Consultation and treatment plan
The practitioner analyses your facial proportions, listens to what you want to achieve and proposes a plan. The amount, brand and technique are tailored individually. Photos are usually taken for a before/after comparison. Before an aesthetic injection treatment, a cooling-off period of at least two days applies after you have received the information about the treatment. If the same type of injection treatment is repeated within six months, no new cooling-off period is required.
- 2
Anaesthesia
Numbing cream is applied 15–20 minutes beforehand, or a local anaesthetic is given (particularly for the lips). Most modern fillers also contain lidocaine, which makes the treatment more comfortable.
- 3
The injections
The filler is injected with a fine needle or microcannula at predetermined points. The practitioner shapes and massages the material in place. You are usually allowed to look in the mirror during the treatment to check the result.
- 4
Immediately after the treatment
Mild swelling, redness and any small bruises are normal. The result is visible immediately, but the final result only shows once the swelling has subsided (1–2 weeks).
- 5
Follow-up
Follow-up visit after 2–4 weeks to evaluate the result. Adjustments can be made if needed — it is common to add a little more rather than to overtreat from the start (the "less is more" principle).
Recovery and aftercare
Filler requires minimal recovery, but swelling and any bruising are common in the first week, particularly with the lips. Most people can go back to work the same day, but plan important social occasions no earlier than 1–2 weeks after the treatment.
- Avoid massaging, pressing or touching the treatment area for 24 hours.
- Avoid intense exercise, saunas, sunbeds and hot baths for the first 48 hours.
- Sleep with your head raised the first night to reduce swelling.
- Avoid blood-thinning medicines (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for 24–48 hours if medically possible.
- Drink plenty of water — hyaluronic acid binds water and gives a better result.
- Do not use face masks, peels or harsh skincare for 1 week.
- For lip filler: a cold compress (through thin fabric) during the first few hours reduces swelling.
- If you notice bluish discolouration under the skin, persistent pain or white skin — contact the clinic URGENTLY (may indicate a vascular complication).
Who is not suited to fillers?
The treatment is not suitable in the following situations. Always mention these during the consultation.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Active infection or skin condition in the treatment area (acne, herpes, eczema in a flare-up).
- Known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine.
- Autoimmune diseases in an active phase, or ongoing immunosuppressive treatment.
- Ongoing blood-thinning treatment (Waran, Eliquis, etc.) — discuss with a doctor first.
- Previous permanent filler (silicone, polyacrylamide) in the area — risk of complications.
- Planned dental treatment or other invasive treatment in the area within 2 weeks.
- Unrealistic expectations or mental ill health linked to appearance — should be evaluated before treatment.
Differences between brands
Several different products are used in Sweden. The differences are often small — which brand suits you is decided by your practitioner based on your goals and previous treatments.
Restylane® (Galderma)
Swedish origin, longest on the market. Wide range for lips (Kysse), volume (Lyft, Volyme) and skin quality (Vital, Skinboosters). Typically lasts 6–18 months.
Juvéderm® (Allergan/AbbVie)
Allergan's Vycross technology gives products with an even consistency and longer duration — Voluma lasts up to 24 months for deep volume, Volbella is thinner for lips.
Belotero® (Merz)
Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM) — integrates smoothly with the tissue. Good for fine lines and under the eyes, where other products can show as lumps.
Teosyal® (Teoxane)
Swiss brand focusing on dynamic areas (corners of the mouth, around the mouth). The RHA range is specially formulated for areas with a lot of movement.
Profhilo® (IBSA)
Not a traditional filler — a bio-remodelling hyaluronic acid that improves skin quality rather than adding volume. Treated separately (see Profhilo & Skin Booster).
When will you see the results?
- Immediately afterVolume and shape are visible immediately, but swelling makes the result look somewhat "bigger" than it will be.
- Day 1–3Swelling at its peak. Bruising may occur, particularly on the lips. Fades gradually.
- Week 2The swelling has subsided and the final result is starting to show. Time for an evaluation visit.
- Months 1–6Stable result. The hyaluronic acid integrates with the tissue and stimulates some collagen formation.
- Months 6–18The effect gradually wears off as the hyaluronic acid breaks down. Time for follow-up, depending on product and area.
