Are Facial Fillers Safe?

Understanding the Benefits of RHA Fillers

Facial fillers have become an essential part of non-surgical cosmetic enhancement, offering a quick and effective way to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. However, many people wonder—are facial fillers safe? The short answer is yes, when performed by an experienced provider like Dr. Ron Shelton. After a thorough examination, Dr. Shelton discusses any rare risks associated with fillers to ensure his patients are well-informed.

The Safety of Facial Fillers

Facial fillers or dermal fillers are FDA-approved and widely used in aesthetic medicine. The safety and effectiveness of these treatments depend on the type of filler used, the technique applied, and the expertise of the injector. The key factors that contribute to a safe filler experience include:

✔ High-Quality FDA-Approved Products – Using clinically tested and approved fillers reduces the risk of complications.

✔ Proper Injection Techniques – Administering fillers in the correct facial planes ensures natural results and minimizes side effects.

✔ A Skilled and Experienced Injector – Choosing a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Ron Shelton is crucial for both safety and optimal outcomes.

Why RHA Fillers Stand Out

Among the different types of dermal fillers available, RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) fillers have gained significant attention for their advanced technology and natural-looking results. Unlike traditional fillers, RHA fillers adapt to facial movement, making them an excellent choice for dynamic areas like the lips, cheeks, and around the mouth.

Also note the less prominent jowls hanging over the jawline as the filler was injected between the chin and jowl. The redness is gone usually in hours to a day.
