Because it is a synthetic substance, it can remain stable in the skin for longer than temporary fillers. It may last up to 24 months (depending on the patient’s post-procedure skin care) and can dissipate 100% by itself.

When there is a problem or you want to remove the filler, it has to be surgically removed by a plastic surgeon. When injected into the skin, there is a risk of inflammation.

How can you check for genuine filler, fake filler or illegal filler?
Nowadays, filler injections are very popular. As a result, there are many manufacturers of fake fillers entering the market. Plus, it can imitate real filler so good that it’s almost indistinguishable. Most of the time, it’s fake filler. Or the illegal filler that is used for injections is usually liquid silicone. If you accidentally inject it, many skin problems are likely to follow. There is also the problem of filler flowing back to different parts of the face. The filler hardens into lumps. Until causing inflammation and infection as a result. The only solution available when injecting fake filler is, it must be surgically removed and the doctor will scrape it out only. In order to prevent these events Let’s see if we can distinguish genuine filler. How can you check fake fillers or illegal fillers?
1. Packaging or box of filler. The safest way before injecting filler, you should ask to see the box with the clinic.
- The box must be new and sealed neatly. There were no signs of previous carving. Once unpacked, the syringe containing the filler must be closed. There are no traces of carving or cutting.
- Fillers that have been certified by the FDA in Thailand must have a complete label in Thai on the side of the box. It must contain details of the filler, price, production date and expiration date. If you see that the filler the clinic uses does not have Thai language details on the box. There is a very high chance that it is fake filler.
- The lot number and reference number must be clearly stated on the packaging box and on the filler tube.
- You can call to check production lot numbers and clinics from the filler distributor. Or some filler has the QR to scan in their application to check if it is a genuine filler.
2. Price of filler injections. If you find that the price of filler injections is very cheap. You can be suspicious beforehand that the filler used may be illegal filler. In most cases, the price of filler starts at 6,000-8,000 baht/cc.
- Filler brand and model. If you see that the clinic uses a brand of filler that you have never seen before, never known before. Please check to be sure again, you should search for information on the internet to see what brand of filler it is from, which country it is, and whether it has passed Thailand’s FDA standards or not. If it does not appear in the list of standard fillers, it’s better to avoid it.
- Trustworthiness of the clinic and the treating doctor. In addition to checking information to see if the filler used is real or fake, another important factor that we should consider and research carefully before deciding to inject fillers. It is the standard and reliability of the clinic. A good clinic should be reliable. Able to give advice and recommendations regarding filler injections very well. Choose a brand of filler that has passed FDA standards. The tools used are safe and sterilised. Importantly, treatment must be carried out by a medical professional only. Fake doctor is something to be watched out. And most of them fake filler such as liquid silicone. Because they are easily available and very cheap. Over a period of time, the skin of those injected with fake fillers will become inflamed and hardened, requiring surgery and scraping to treat it.
Therefore, before deciding to inject filler, we should study the details and find information about the filler and the clinic that we choose to receive treatment.
