Glabella filler is a type of medical aesthetic application used to treat sagging that occurs on our face, which loses volume over time. The loss of volume in the skin due to aging causes some changes in the person's facial expression. The eyebrows are one of the most important elements of our facial expression. Deformations in the eyebrows can completely change a person's image and appearance.
If the lines that occur in the area between the eyebrows become deeper over time, the person looks much older and sterner. Constant use of mimics, frowning, and similar movements cause deformations in this area. The filler procedure applied between the eyebrows is sufficient to eliminate this problem. Hyaluronic acid-based filler material is injected into the area with fine-tipped needles used in filler injections. The filler material applied to the correct point and at the correct dosage ensures that the depth is reduced and disappears over time.
Wrinkles are analyzed by an expert and experienced physician in the field, and a unique treatment plan is created for your needs. If deeper wrinkles are involved, botox and filler injection may be planned together. Medical Aesthetics Doctor **Dr. Lida Çiteli**, who serves her patients in Istanbul, explained the curious details about glabella filler and botox treatment.
What is Glabella Filler Treatment?
This procedure, applied to fill the depleted structures between the eyebrows, is among the popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments today. During the glabella filler procedure, specially selected filler materials are injected according to the person's needs. This procedure, which aims to eliminate the fine lines and deep wrinkles between the eyebrows, aims to give the person a fuller, younger, and smoother appearance. The glabella filler procedure must be applied by a specialist medical aesthetic doctor after a detailed skin analysis.
What is Glabella Botox Treatment? Is it the Same as a Filler Procedure?
Glabella botox generally targets the lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows. However, glabella filler eliminates volume loss in the area. Although they are applied in similar ways, the injected substance is different. In the glabella botox procedure, botulinum toxin is injected. In filler, hyaluronic acid-based filler material is injected.
The botox toxin blocks the muscles in the area and eliminates wrinkles. Both treatments are temporary applications. They generally need to be renewed every six months.
Why Do Glabella Wrinkles Occur?
- Intense and frequently repeated facial expressions cause the formation of wrinkles and lines.
- Weakening of the muscles in the area over time and their inability to perform relaxation movements over time.
- Having a sensitive skin structure.
- Having a genetically prone skin structure for wrinkles and lines.
- Having dry skin with a disturbed moisture balance are the most important reasons for the formation of lines between the eyebrows.
How Long Do Glabella Filler and Botox Treatments Last?
Let's start by stating that glabella filler and botox applications are not permanent. The duration of effect of these treatments, which quickly show their effect within one week after the injection, varies from person to person. It can show its effect for an average of 6-12 months. However, after 18 months, both treatments completely lose their effect. Deep wrinkles and depressions are eliminated.
The person's metabolism rate is the most important factor affecting the permanence of the treatment. The elasticity of the muscles between the eyes and eyebrows also affects the duration of the filler's permanence.
Another factor is the enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme allows hyaluronic acid to dissolve over time. If the body produces too much of this enzyme, the filler also dissolves faster.
Alcohol and cigarette use, and not consuming enough water also reduce the permanence of the treatments.
