Which filler brand is best? How to choose the right filler for you.
Fillers are one of the most popular procedures in the cosmetic industry. Currently, there are many types and brands of fillers to choose from, but many people wonder which brand is best. This article will introduce you to what fillers are, the different brands available, and how to choose the right one. Let's get started!
What are fillers? Which brand should I choose?
Filler (Filler) is a substance injected under the skin to replace lost volume, filling in deep wrinkles or dimples, making the skin look smoother, more youthful, or even enhancing facial features for a more proportionate or fuller appearance.
Currently, there are many brands of fillers available in the cosmetic industry. However, in Thailand, only fillers containing hyaluronic acid as the main ingredient are approved. This is because hyaluronic acid is naturally biodegradable, can be dissolved through injections, and is considered safer than other types of fillers.
Even if we only select hyaluronic acid fillers that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there are still many types and brands of fillers available. Each brand and type of filler uses different manufacturing technologies, resulting in different properties. So, which filler brand should you choose?
The answer is no, there is no single best filler brand. Each type and brand of filler has different strengths and is suitable for different injection areas. There is no single filler brand that can solve every problem or address every issue. Choosing the best filler brand depends solely on whether that brand is suitable for the specific problem being addressed or whether it can deliver the desired results. However, this also depends on the expertise of the performing physician.
Factors influencing the choice of filler brand.
He said that filler is good, this one is suitable, and he wants to try those fillers. If you have the procedure done at a clinic by an experienced filler doctor, they may explain to you which brand of filler is best before you choose.
Because each person's skin problems or desired enhancements are different, and each filler brand and type has different capabilities or advantages, each person may be suited to a different brand or type of filler. Typically, doctors will choose the best filler brand for each patient based on the following factors:
- Skin problems that need to be addressed include fine lines, deep wrinkles, and skin collapse due to bone subsidence.
- The skin characteristics of the client, such as whether they have normal or sensitive skin.
- Areas where filler injections are desired, such as: Temple filler, chin filler, Cheek furrow filler, Under-eye filler, lip filler etc.

Juvederm filler
Juvederm filler, also known as American filler from Allergan Aesthetics, is one of the first filler brands that many people think of. It's known for its high elasticity, minimal swelling, and natural-looking results after injection, thanks to Juvederm's proprietary technologies like Hylacross Technology and Vycross Technology, which result in filler gels with different properties.
- Hylacross Technology is a technology that allows the gel to retain water well, resulting in a plump, full-bodied complexion when sprayed.
- Vycross Technology is a flagship technology of Juvederm, developed to create a smooth, consistent gel with high elasticity and resistance to movement. It also helps to lift and firm the skin, resulting in a beautiful and natural appearance after injection.
At Romrawin Clinic, we offer six different models of Juvederm fillers, each with its own unique selling points.
