DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal fillers help to restore youthful facial plains and reduce wrinkles. There are many FDA-approved fillers, each formulated for a specific purpose and area of the face. Dr. Chaudhry is a highly-trained, experienced injector who works with a full range of dermal fillers to provide customized treatment with optimal results.

TYPES OF DERMAL FILLERS

All fillers work in basically the same way, adding immediate volume. In addition, fillers stimulate natural production of collagen for longer lasting improvement.  The board-certified dermatologist considers thickness and formulation, patient’s goals, and area of the face or body to determine which combination of products to use.

  • HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS - We use Juvederm and Restylane families of hyaluronic acid fillers.  These smooth gel formulations fill lines and wrinkles, with minimal risk of uneven texture. Thinner HA fillers are ideal for lips and around eyes, while heavier formulations supply deep cheek volume.

  • CALCIUM HYDROXYLAPATITE - Radiesse has microspheres of the same element found in bone and cartilage in a gel base. It is often used in areas needing significant volumizing. Over time, the body absorbs the calcium, but renewed collagen continues to keep skin younger-looking.

  • POLY-L-LACTIC ACID - Sculptra is a deep volumizer, especially appropriate for those with low body fat. A series of injection sessions boosts collagen production for increased volume and skin smoothing that lasts up to two years.
