Fillers are classified according to their duration or ingredients. If we examine this classification under 3 headings; short-term lasting, long-term lasting, and permanent. Short-term lasting fillers are made of hyaluronic acid which is a protein already present in our bodies. This protein is produced in a laboratory and placed in injectable tools. The duration of this application is 6 months to 2 years. Long-term lasting fillers are made of hydroxyapatite or poly-L-lactic which is a protein in our bones or teeth. This protein is also produced in a laboratory and placed in injectable tools. The duration of this application is 2 to 4 years. Permanent fillers are made of plastic, silicon which are not present in our body. Therefore, this application is not recommended. Short and long term lasting fillers don’t have any side affects since they are protein.
