Dermal filler techniques have evolved from the exaggerated results often seen on screens and social media. Today’s approaches focus on subtle enhancement and natural-looking results to help maintain a youthful appearance.

Dr Maureen Allem, founder of Skin Renewal Aesthetic Clinics, discusses the significant shift over the past decade in how fillers are being used to address the facial volume loss and sagging that occur with ageing.

She’s joined by Clicks Beauty Squad member TK van Louw, who highlights how attitudes around fillers have shifted within African communities. Van Louw explains that while getting fillers was once considered taboo, this began to change about five years ago. “It was exciting to discover that fillers could help achieve that youthful glow,” she says.

Elizmé Ferreira, head makeup artist at Catrice, rounds out the conversation by sharing expert tips on using makeup techniques to create the illusion of a lifted, more youthful look without needing injections.
