According to Dr. Vu Thai Ha of the Dermatology Department at Hanoi Medical University, cosmetic treatments using fillers are undergoing a significant shift. A few years ago, these treatments were associated with a noticeably fuller face, with immediate results. Now, the new standard is "invisible fillers," offering subtle enhancements that are barely perceptible.
This shift is not accidental. For a long time, filler misuse eroded public trust. Incorrect techniques, improper product selection, and inappropriate application led to stiff, swollen faces lacking expression.
"The problem isn't with fillers themselves, but how they're used," Dr. Vu Thai Ha explained, emphasizing that fillers remain valuable medical tools when used correctly. Their purpose is not to change one's face, but to preserve its existing structure.

According to Dr. Ha, invisible fillers represent a new philosophy in modern aesthetics: avoiding excessive volume, preserving natural features, and maintaining facial expressions.
Instead of striving for a taut, shiny, and full look, invisible fillers prioritize three core values: preserving individual characteristics, restructuring, and early aging prevention. This method requires doctors to have a deep understanding of skin anatomy, soft tissue dynamics, and age-related aging characteristics to create personalized treatment plans.
In this context, the role of the doctor has also changed considerably. They are no longer designers reshaping faces, but partners in preserving each individual's natural beauty.

Specifically, doctors need a strong grasp of anatomy and a clear understanding of different tissue layers to select the right techniques, products, and dosages. They must also develop personalized treatment plans over time, rather than focusing solely on short-term results.
Dr. Vu Thai Ha emphasized the need for carefully planned cosmetic interventions using the "right layer, right dosage, right product" approach. This ensures both rejuvenation and preservation of individual facial characteristics.
"The aesthetics industry is entering a new phase where beauty isn't about 'adding,' but about understanding, intervening appropriately, and respecting each person's natural structure. Fillers shouldn't change our faces, but help us stay true to ourselves," Dr. Vu Thai Ha added.
