Celeb injector: Fillers still hot despite trends

Anush Movsesian, a prominent aesthetic injector with over a decade of experience, reveals that despite evolving trends and public discourse on "pillow face" and "filler fatigue," the demand for cosmetic treatments remains exceptionally high. She observes that while some advocate for caution, many patients still seek extensive procedures, and she sometimes has to turn people away due to overwhelming demand.

The pandemic significantly influenced people's focus on skincare, with many becoming more engaged with at-home routines and online purchases. This shift has now evolved into a greater appreciation for professional skincare treatments aimed at maintaining skin health. Movsesian specifically recommends microneedling, citing its versatility and effectiveness regardless of advancements in technology, whether combined with PRP, exosomes, or hyaluronic acid.

Addressing concerns like "Ozempic face," Movsesian suggests Sculptra for natural volume replenishment, distinguishing it from "jelly" fillers. She also critiques social media's influence on younger generations seeking procedures, emphasizing her role in identifying when underlying psychological issues, rather than physical appearance, are the true concern. Movsesian advocates for graceful aging, promoting subtle enhancements and accepting natural lines and wrinkles.
