Great question! Honestly I hadn’t heard of Fillmed before thought that doesn’t mean they’re bad. The company looks like it’s been around for a while but they only released fillers in 2016. From what I can see they are a hyaluronic acid dermal filler brand so that’s good (as you know I don’t advocate anything else for the face or neck). The key thing is to ensure that your practitioner is a medic and is trained, experienced as well as insured (this bit is important as insurance companies won’t cover non reputable brands) to provide the particular treatment you’re after using this specific brand of filler. The only thing to be wary of is with anything new, we won’t know long term side effects or safety compared with older brands.
Hi Dr. Amel..I got redensity under my tear troughs after having my 6 year under filler dissolved with hyaluronidase. It has been 10 days and under 1 eye I see a bit of the Tyndall effect. I had 0.4 mL under each eye. I am seeing my injector on Tuesday. In your experience with using redensity, have you seen patients with the Tyndall effect after redensity in the tear trough area? My injector told me it is possible with massage that once the filler is settled that the Tyndall effect may dissapear? Thank you!
Hi Marcella, thank you so much for reaching out and sorry that you’re going through this. Tyndall’s can happen with any filler and even though it’s less common with Redensity 2 I’ve seen happen from time to time. We would normally massage the filler as soon as possible (before it’s settled in) and more often than not this resolves the problem. If it doesn’t then we would generally try to spot dissolve the filler if that doesn’t make things better then we would dissolve it all and redo it. The last bit is rare but I just wanted to let you know how we would typically manage this. Speak with your practitioner and ask them what the plan would be after massaging if it doesn’t settle down.
Hello! I’m afraid this isn’t a brand I’m familiar with so I have no idea if it’s any good. As a general rule, I recommend sticking with better known brands like Juvederm, Teosyal, Restylane etc just because they’ve been around for a long time and have an established safety record.
Great question. I can’t comment on revolax as we’ve never used it at City Skin Clinic. We preferred brands like Juvederm, Teosyal and Restylane because they’ve been around for a really long time hence have a long established safety record.
Hi Yesenia, to buy reputable and genuine brands of lip filler you will need to be a licensed medical practitioner and have completed the training courses. With that info, the pharmacies that sell them and the suppliers will create an account for you and you can purchase them.
I’m afraid I haven’t heard of this brand before. I looked it up and it looks like it’s hyaluronic acid based but unfortunately I can’t say if it’s good or not as I don’t know much about the brand. Do you know anyone who’s had it?
Hey darling I don't believe AMIEYES is a dermal filler. I had a look and its a mesotherapy cocktail that's supposed to stimulate your tissues to produce collagen which plumps up the skin. We don't offer mesotherapy at the clinic so I don't know how effective it is. With regards to undereye filler, I personally prefer Teosyal Redensity II and its the only filler we use in that area at City Skin Clinic.
Sorry I somehow didn't see this message Mengyin. It depends on how deep the lines are and what your skin is like but we generally use Juvederm ultra 4, Volift or Voluma based on how deep the lines are. Sometimes we combine this with Profhilo and/or Botox.
It really depends on what you need it for. We prefer Teosyal redensity 2 for under eyes, Juvederm and belotero for lips, Tosyal RHA2 for smokers lines and Juvederm for the rest of the face and neck (can be ultra 4, volift, voluma or volux depending on area).
