“Smart Filler”, which consists of a special content that makes up 70% of the filler, increases collagen production in the body, thus
Smart filler is a biostimulant (stimulating natural collagen synthesis) filler containing polycaprolactone (PCL) material in a carrier gel. PCL is a substance used in surgical threads for many years and its tissue compatibility is quite good.
How Does Smart Filler Work?
The carrier gel of the smart filler begins to melt in about 2-3 months and PCL particles are gradually released. As the PCL particles are released, new collagen synthesis begins to be stimulated in the applied area and volume increase is achieved thanks to the new natural collagen produced.
Which Areas is Smart Filler Applied to?

What are the Side Effects of Smart Filling?
Bruising, redness, mild edema and sensitivity, which can be seen in all injections, may occur in the application areas of smart filler. These side effects usually heal within a few days.
It gives the appearance of fullness at the moment of the first application. It disappears after 6-8 weeks of application by undergoing complete bio-absorption. The PCL Particles that will create the real filling effect are the PCL Particles distributed homogeneously within the skin. These particles cause collagen formation in different volumes depending on their proximity to each other.
Collagen formation starts in the 1st month and continues to increase until the 4th month. As a result, when the PCL Particles are completely bio-absorbed, a sufficient amount of collagen is formed to provide the lifting effect and fullness. Caprolactone, which has been used safely as a suture in surgical applications for about 30 years, constitutes the remaining 30% of the filler. It stimulates the collagen-producing cells and causes the tissue to produce its own new and solid collagen.
The application of collagen-stimulating fillers is the same as that of other fillers. It is painless due to its application with local anesthetic medication. You can return to your daily life immediately after the application. The slight fullness seen at the moment of the first application belongs to the gel and disappears in a few weeks. It is necessary to wait for 3-4 months for the real effect. Because this period is needed for sufficient collagen formation. At the end of this period, in addition to the desired lifting effect and fullness on the skin, improvement in skin quality and appearance is seen.
As a collagen-stimulating filler, Smart Filling is in four different forms that can provide permanence from one to four years. It can be applied to anywhere in the face area that needs volume and lifting except for the lips and under the eyes. It is applied to the back of the hand, neck and décolleté to increase skin quality and elasticity. It can help heal facial scars, deep acne scars and loose skin that has lost its elasticity.
Is Smart Filling Safe?
The prominent features of the filler applied to the skin are that it completely disappears with bio-absorption within 1-3 months, its effects start in one month and develop gradually over a period of four months and it does not cause rapid volume increase. New generation collagen-stimulating fillers are safer for reasons such as not having a cross-link structure, which is used to increase the permanence period in other filling systems and can sometimes cause negative effects.
