ml (milliliter) in filler: what it means

ml is the abbreviation for milliliter, one thousandth of a liter, equal to one cubic centimeter. In orofacial harmonization, it is the unit used to measure fillers such as hyaluronic acid: the professional plans, injects and charges in ml, and many syringes are sold with 1 ml.

The volume per area depends on anatomy, goal, product and tissue response. In general, small areas such as the lips work with smaller volumes, and structural areas, such as the jawline, call for larger volumes. The appropriate range is always defined by the qualified professional, after assessment, often over more than one session.

It is worth remembering that botulinum toxin is not measured in ml of effect, but in units: the dilution volume changes according to the protocol and does not indicate the dose.

Why does ml matter in planning?

The ml ties together three conversations: what the face needs, what the patient will see and how much it will cost. Planning by area in ml makes clear where the treatment's cost comes from and helps stage the plan in steps, when the patient's budget calls for it.

In the Plan, you set the volume of each marked area from 0.5 to 5 ml, in steps of 0.5 ml. The projection respects that number: the more ml, the more noticeable the change. For bilateral areas, the value is the total, split between the two sides. Afterward, "Show procedures" displays the ml of each area over the After, and the PDF quote calculates the value per ml of each area.

Also called: milliliter, cc, syringe (when the syringe holds 1 ml).
