How Safe Are Facial Filler Treatments?
Aesthetic medicine continues to evolve, offering treatments that not only improve appearance but also respect the natural anatomy of the face. One of the most common concerns among patients is: Are facial injections really safe? At Clínica CIME, our answer is a clear and confident yes, when done by trained professionals.
The Importance of Knowing Facial Anatomy
Facial fillers are used to reduce wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance facial contours. But did you know that just one millimeter off in the injection site can lead to complications if not done correctly?
That’s why at Clínica CIME, every treatment begins with a thorough facial assessment. Our team of aesthetic doctors knows in detail the vascular and muscular anatomy of the face — a key to ensuring that your treatment is both safe and effective.
Common Treatment Areas (And Why Precision Matters)
These are some of the areas most requested by patients and how we approach them:
- Forehead and frown lines: We inject on the bone to avoid contact with superficial arteries.
- Under-eye area (tear trough): We use cannulas or fine needles in safe, deep planes to reduce the appearance of dark circles or hollows.
- Cheeks and cheekbones: Volume is restored by injecting above the bone to achieve lift without risk.
- Nasolabial folds: We work carefully around the facial artery to soften expression lines while maintaining natural mobility.
- Lips: We use advanced techniques to hydrate and shape the lips without overfilling. Always respecting the natural structure.
- Chin and jawline: Injections are performed on deep, stable areas to enhance profile and definition.
Each of these zones has specific anatomical characteristics, and our professionals know where and how to inject to avoid bruising, swelling, or more serious risks like vascular compression.
Our Safety Protocol
Every facial filler procedure at Clínica CIME follows these safety guidelines:
- Product selection: We only use certified hyaluronic acid fillers from leading laboratories.
- Injection tools: We alternate between needles and microcannulas based on the area and type of result you’re looking for.
- Volume control: Less is more. We work gradually to ensure harmony and natural-looking results.
- Personalized evaluation: We never start without knowing your face, skin, and aesthetic goals in depth.
Immediate and Long-Term Benefits
The results of filler treatments are often visible within a few days and can last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the area treated and the product used. In addition to improving the appearance of wrinkles or volume loss, these treatments can also:
- Improve skin hydration
- Revitalize facial appearance
- Restore symmetry and balance
- Prevent deeper wrinkles when used preventively
When to Start?
It’s never “too soon” or “too late” — everything depends on your goals. Many patients start around age 30 to prevent the signs of aging, while others come in to refresh their image at any stage in life. Whether it’s your first treatment or you’ve had others before, we will create a custom plan for you.
