Chin Filler

Aligning your outer beauty with the confidence that shines from within.

Chin filler is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the contour and proportion of the lower face, contributing to a more aesthetically pleasing V-shape facial profile. At NU.U Clinic, the focus is on using Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers, specifically from Galderma’s range, to achieve these enhancements. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin known for its capacity to retain moisture, making it an ideal choice for adding volume and structure to the chin area.

The science behind Chin Filler

The effectiveness of Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers lies in their ability to mimic the function of naturally occurring HA within the skin. When injected into the target area, these fillers attract and retain water molecules, increasing volume and hydration in the dermis layer. This volume addition helps in sculpting the chin and jawline, resulting in a more defined and balanced facial structure.

On a molecular level, the HA in dermal fillers is cross-linked, which affects how long the filler can resist breaking down in the body. This cross-linking process ensures the durability and longevity of the filler’s effects, typically allowing the results to last up to one year. Furthermore, HA fillers promote collagen production around the injection site, providing a dual action of immediate volume addition and long-term skin rejuvenation.

What can Chin Filler Treat?

In every case, NU•U Aesthetics & Wellness Clinic prioritises a personalised approach, with a thorough consultation to assess the suitability of the treatment for each individual. This ensures that the treatment plan is specifically designed to meet the unique needs and aesthetic goals of each client, with safety and effectiveness being the key considerations.

Recessed Chin

A chin that appears to be too far back compared to the rest of the facial features can be effectively augmented to achieve a more forward projection and a balanced profile.

V-shape Facial Contouring

For those seeking a more tapered jawline and chin area, chin fillers can sculpt the lower face to enhance its V-shape, contributing to a more feminine or desired facial contour.

Asymmetry Correction

Minor asymmetries in the chin can be corrected through precise filler injections, ensuring a more symmetrical and harmonious facial appearance.

Softening of the Jawline

In addition to enhancing the chin, fillers can be used to soften the appearance of the jawline, making it blend more smoothly with the rest of the face.

Benefits of Chin Filler

Enhanced Chin Projection & Contour

By strategically injecting filler, the chin becomes more pronounced and defined, achieving a balanced relationship with other facial features. This can also aid in diminishing the appearance of a double chin, resulting in a more sculpted profile.

Quick Recovery & Minimal Downtime

One of the most appealing aspects of chin filler treatments is the minimal recovery time required. Patients can typically resume their daily activities almost immediately, making it an ideal option for those with busy lifestyles.

Non-Permanent & Reversible

For those hesitant about permanent cosmetic alterations, chin fillers offer a temporary solution that can be adjusted or completely reversed if the outcome doesn't meet the patient's expectations.

Customisable & Tailored Results

The versatility of chin fillers allows practitioners to customise the treatment to suit the individual's facial structure and aesthetic goals, whether it's elongating the chin for a more slender appearance or widening it for a fuller look. These attributes make chin fillers an attractive choice for anyone wishing to refine their chin and jawline with flexibility and minimal risk.

Price and Number of Treatments Needed

In Singapore, the cost of chin filler treatments can vary, generally ranging from $600 to $1000 per syringe. The total expense is influenced by the specific product chosen and the volume of filler required to achieve the desired effect. For a comprehensive enhancement, multiple syringes may be necessary, with results lasting up to one year. It’s important for individuals to consult with their practitioner to understand the estimated total cost based on their personalised treatment plan.

FAQs

Chin fillers, particularly those based on Hyaluronic Acid (HA), are designed to be a temporary cosmetic enhancement, with their effects typically lasting between 6 to 12 months. The longevity of the results can vary depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the individual's metabolism, and how their body reacts to the filler. HA fillers are often recommended for those trying fillers for the first time due to their temporary nature, allowing for adjustments or reversals if desired.

If regular maintenance sessions are not undertaken, the effects of the chin fillers will gradually diminish over time, and the chin will eventually revert to its pre-treatment appearance. In some cases, the filler may persist for a longer duration before being naturally absorbed by the body. It's important to have a clear understanding of the maintenance required to sustain the desired aesthetic results and to plan for follow-up treatments accordingly.

When administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner, fillers are generally considered safe for long-term use. The key to minimising risks is ensuring that the procedure is performed correctly under sterile conditions to prevent complications such as infections, discolouration, or the formation of lumps. It's crucial to consult with a reputable medical professional who can provide a thorough assessment and discuss the potential risks and benefits associated with chin fillers.
