Injectable filler (injectable filler filler) is a soft tissue filler injected into the skin to help fill facial wrinkles, restore a smoother appearance. Most of the wrinkle fillers are temporary because they are eventually absorbed by the body. Some people may need more than one injection to achieve wrinkle-smoothing effect. The effect lasts for about six months or longer. Successful results depend on skin health, health care provider skills, the type of fillers used.
In the US, fillers are approved as a medical device by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and injection is prescribed and performed by healthcare providers. Fillers are not approved for certain parts of the body where they can become unsafe, including the penis. In Europe and the UK, fillers are non-prescription medical devices that can be injected by anyone who is licensed to do so by their respective medical authority. They need a CE mark, which regulates compliance with production standards, but does not require demonstrations of medical efficacy. As a result, there are more than 140 injectors in the UK/Europe market and only six are approved for use in the US.

Materials used
Fillers are made of sugar molecules or are composed of hyaluronic acid, collagens, which may come from pigs, cattle, corpses, or can be produced in the laboratory, the person itself transplanted fat, and biosynthetic polymers. The latter examples include calcium hydroxylapatite, polycaprolactone, polymethylmethacrylate, and polylactic acid. In 2012, "Artiste Assisted Injection System" was launched in the US market to help dispatch dermal fillers. One study concluded that syringes can achieve a reduction in patient discomfort and side effects by controlling the flow rate of filler injection used by practitioners to fill the lip and wrinkle lines.

How it works
Dermal fillers, also known as "injections" or "soft tissue fillers," do as the name implies: they fill the area under the skin. Some fillers are natural and some synthetic, but they all work to improve the appearance of aging skin in the following ways:
- fills wrinkles, fine lines and deep wrinkles
- increases other imperfections like scars
- fills thin or wrinkled lips
- plumping cheeks
- treating fat loss due to HIV. Fillers were found to have a temporary acceptable therapeutic effect in HIV-infected patients with severe facial lipodystrophy caused by highly active antiretroviral therapy. A systemic review concluded that injecting fillers result in high patient satisfaction, however, more research is needed to determine the safety of their use.

Risk
The risks of an improper dermal filler procedure usually include bruising, redness, pain or itching. Less commonly, there may be an infection or allergic reaction, which can cause scars and lumps that may require surgical correction. Less frequently, serious side effects such as blindness due to retrograde (as opposed to normal blood flow direction) embolization into the artery of the eye and the retina may occur. Delayed skin necrosis can also occur as a complication of embolization. Embol complications are more commonly seen when autologous fats are used as fillers, followed by hyaluronic acid. Although rare, when vision loss occurs, it is usually permanent.
