Fillers

Injectable fillers are substances that enhance the fullness of soft tissues, primarily in the face. Some fillers are based on natural substances derived from the human body, others are synthetic forms of these substances, and some may contain synthetic biocompatible compounds. The differences among facial fillers are not only in their composition, but also in their preferred application and the duration of their results.

Collagen is a natural protein that supports the skin. Injectable collagen formulas derived from human dermis include Cosmoderm or Cosmoplast. This filler is appropriate for use on all areas of the face. The results of treatment with injectable collagen may last 2 to 4 months.

Hylaform is a form of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in our bodies. It is well suited to plump thin lips and fill facial creases such as nasolabial folds. It may also be appropriate for some surface wrinkles and concave scars. The fullness achieved from Hylaform may last 4 months or longer.



Radiesse is a form of hydroxylapatite, a mineral-like compound found naturally in human bones, suspended in a gel-like formulation. It is recommended to fill deeper creases such as nasolbial folds, marionette lines, and frown lines, as well as to enhance fullness of the cheeks and other facial contours. Radiesse lasts 18 months to 2 years.


Restylane is composed of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid. Restylane restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds. It can be used to plump the lips. Effects of Restylane can last up to 6 months.


Juvederm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occuring substance found in our bodies. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restour your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds. Results last up to one year.
