Hyaluronic Acid Filler

Restoring volume and contour, one considered decision at a time.

What is Hyaluronic Acid Filler?

Volume, restored with precision.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is a doctor-administered injectable used to restore volume that has naturally softened over time, or to refine contour in areas such as the cheeks, chin or temples. Hyaluronic acid is a substance the body already produces, and the gel formulation is designed to integrate with surrounding tissue for a result that typically looks and feels natural. Should adjustment ever be needed, HA filler can generally be dissolved, which is one reason it is a common starting point for volume restoration.

At FMAC, every filler treatment is assessed and delivered by Dr Gerald Tan, who evaluates facial structure, skin quality and goals at consultation before recommending an approach — never a fixed, one-size-fits-all plan.

How it works

Placed with an understanding of facial structure.

Dr Gerald Tan begins with a facial assessment, considering bone structure, existing volume loss and the balance of your features. A hyaluronic acid gel is then injected into targeted areas using fine needles or cannulas, following a plan designed around your individual anatomy. The goal is a considered, proportionate result — restoring what has softened rather than adding for its own sake.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Is hyaluronic acid filler safe?
It is a doctor-administered procedure using a substance naturally found in the body. Dr Gerald Tan assesses your suitability individually and will discuss any risks specific to your health history before treatment.
Does it hurt?
Most patients tolerate the injections well. Topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand, and many filler formulations also contain a local anaesthetic for added comfort.
What's the downtime?
Downtime is generally minimal. Mild swelling, redness or bruising at injection points is possible and typically settles within a few days to a week.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after treatment, with any initial swelling settling over the following one to two weeks to reveal a closer approximation of the final look.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve their desired result in a single session. Dr Tan will confirm a plan at consultation based on the volume and areas being addressed.
