Indications:
Dermal fillers can be used to fill in soft-tissue contours—generally in the face. These fillers can be used for lip enhancement, the effacement of wrinkles and facial lines, and filling in areas of the cheeks, nose, lips, chin, and hands. The actual type of filler can vary, and common fillers include JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, Radiesse®, Evolence®, Prevelle®, and Sculptra®.
These fillers can immediately enhance the appearance of your face or hands, making them look more youthful. The fillers will last from several months to a year or more. In some cases, different fillers will be appropriate for different areas of the body.
Fillers can be hyaluronic acid or collagen-based, and these basic substances are found naturally throughout the human face and body. Radiesse has small calcium microspheres, and Sculptra has an absorbable matrix component that can stimulate collagen growth. Your surgeon can recommend a specific filler that meets your particular aesthetic needs.
