A filler, or filling injection, is an aesthetic-medicine procedure in which a doctor injects hyaluronic acid to fill deep wrinkles, restore facial contour or increase lip volume. A filler suits adults who notice deep wrinkles (for example the nasolabial fold), loss of facial contour or who want to define the shape of their lips or cheekbones. In Estonia, fillers are offered by beauty clinics licensed by Terviseamet (the Health Board), where the procedure is carried out by a certified doctor or aesthetic physician. A filler is a reversible procedure — if needed it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
What is a filler and where is it injected?
A filler is a cross-linked hyaluronic-acid gel that is injected into the subcutaneous tissue to add volume and fill wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in the skin that retains moisture — its cross-linked variant stays in the skin for 6–18 months. The better-known brands in Estonia are Juvéderm, Restylane, Belotero and Teosyal — all medical devices registered in the EU.
The typical injection areas are: the nasolabial fold (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth), marionette lines (below the corners of the mouth), increasing and refining lip volume, cheekbones, facial contour, the jawline, the nose tip (non-surgical rhinoplasty), filling of dimples and reducing the hollows around the eyes. A specific density and composition is chosen for each area.
Filler in Estonia — prices and how the procedure goes
The price of a filler in Estonia starts at around 250 € per syringe (1 ml) and typically falls in the 280–500 € range. Lip filling costs 280–400 €, nasolabial-fold filling 300–500 €, cheekbone contouring 400–700 € (usually needs 2 ml). The price is shaped by the product used — top-class Juvéderm Volift or Restylane Lyft are more expensive.
The procedure begins with a consultation in which the doctor assesses your facial anatomy and goals. The doctor applies numbing cream 20–30 minutes before the injections. The injections are made with a fine needle or cannula (fewer bruises). The whole procedure lasts 20–40 minutes. You see the result straight away, but the final shape develops over 1–2 weeks as the swelling subsides.
How to choose a beauty clinic that offers filler?
The first criterion is a Terviseamet (Health Board) licence — a filler may be injected only by a doctor or a certified aesthetic physician. Make sure the doctor has completed specialised training in aesthetic medicine. Before the injections, ask which products are used and see the packaging — the packaging of authentic products contains full information and a batch number.
Look at before/after photos of real clients and read Google reviews about longer-term results. Experienced clinics such as Health Clinic in Tallinn, ProAge Ilukliinik in Tartu, Esimene Ilustuudio in Tallinn and Medical Aesthetics in Tartu offer a personal approach. Choose a doctor who sets modest expectations — the goal is a natural, not an overblown, result.
Risks, side effects and contraindications
A filler is generally safe when done by a doctor with sterile technique and an EU-registered product. The most common side effects are mild redness, swelling and bruising at the injection site — these subside within 3–7 days. Rarely, lumps may occur, which typically subside on their own within a few weeks.
Serious complications are extremely rare but include blockage of a blood vessel, infection and allergic reactions. An experienced doctor knows the anatomy and uses a safe injection technique, which reduces the risk of vessel blockage to a minimum. Contraindications: pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases (in an active phase), an active herpes rash in the injection area, allergy to the product's ingredients.
Filler in Estonia's most popular cities
Tallinn has Estonia's largest concentration of beauty clinics — the widest choice of products is available here (Juvéderm, Restylane, Belotero, Teosyal). Tallinn has most of the experienced aesthetic physicians, and competition keeps prices reasonable. Most top-class clinics are in Kesklinn, Mustamäe and Lasnamäe.
In Tartu, clinics offering filler often have a university-hospital background, which means a strong medical approach. Pärnu, Narva and Rapla also have licensed beauty clinics — Ilukliinik Floris in Rapla offers a personal approach. Always check the doctor's qualification and Terviseamet (Health Board) licence.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a filler cost?
The price of a filler in Estonia starts at around 250 € per syringe (1 ml). Lip filling costs 280–400 €, nasolabial-fold filling 300–500 €, cheekbone contouring 400–700 €. The price is shaped by the product used and the amount needed.
How long does a filler result last?
A filler result typically lasts 6–18 months depending on the product and injection area. A lip filler lasts 6–12 months, a deep-wrinkle filler 12–18 months. With repeated injections the effect lasts longer, as the skin gets used to the presence of volume.
Is a filler painful?
After the numbing cream is applied, the sensation is a mild sting. With lip filling there may be some discomfort, as the area is sensitive. An experienced doctor uses a cannula (not a needle), which reduces pain and bruising.
When will I see the filler result?
You see the result straight away after the injections. The final shape develops over 1–2 weeks, once the swelling has subsided. During the first 24 hours there may be mild swelling and redness at the injection site — this is a normal reaction.
Can I have a filler while pregnant?
A filler is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Although hyaluronic acid itself is biological, the procedure is not performed for safety reasons. Plan filler courses either before conceiving or at least 3 months after the end of breastfeeding.
Who is allowed to inject filler?
A filler may be injected only by a doctor who holds a Terviseamet (Health Board) licence for aesthetic-medicine procedures, or by a certified aesthetic physician. A beautician or beauty therapist may not do it. Always check the doctor's qualification.
Can a filler be removed if I don't like the result?
A hyaluronic-acid filler can be completely dissolved with a hyaluronidase injection. The result is reversible if you are not happy with it. This is a big advantage of filler compared with surgical volume-adding methods.
Filler in Tallinn vs Tartu — does the price differ?
Prices in Tallinn and Tartu are relatively similar, but Tallinn has a wider choice of products and competition can push prices slightly lower. Clinics in Tartu often have an academic background. In county centres the price may be 10–15% cheaper.
