Filler treatment at Skin Therapeutics starts with a structural assessment — where volume has genuinely been lost, and where it hasn't — rather than defaulting to the areas patients most often ask about.
A structure-first approach
Faces age as a system: volume loss in the cheeks and temples often creates the folds people notice lower down. Filling the fold directly can look heavy; restoring support where it was actually lost usually looks better and uses less product. That's the assessment Dr. Chopade walks through with you, with a mirror, before recommending anything.
What the appointment involves
After numbing, filler is placed precisely by cannula or needle depending on the area. Placement is staged and conservative — results are reviewed with you as you go, and it's always easier to add at a follow-up than to dissolve overdone filler. Expect possible swelling or light bruising for a few days; most patients are socially presentable immediately and fully settled within a fortnight.
Honest expectations
Hyaluronic acid fillers last roughly nine to eighteen months depending on the area and product, and they are reversible — an enzyme can dissolve them if ever needed, which is part of why a physician-led setting matters. Filler restores structure; it doesn't resurface skin texture or stop expression lines, and combination plans are discussed openly when those are the actual concern.
