Fillers in Palm Coast, Ormond Beach & Port Orange, FL
If you are noticing early signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, it’s time for you to discover the benefits of fillers, available from our dermatologists in one of our 6 offices.
What Are Fillers?
Fillers are injectable substances including hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite, both of which occur naturally in the body, and Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable, synthetic material.
How Fillers Work
Fillers work by “filling in” fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing their appearance. Fillers can help your skin appear smooth, wrinkle-free, and more youthful.
Types of Fillers
There are several types of fillers. The two most common hyaluronic acid fillers are Juvederm and Restylane.
Juvederm is an excellent choice to treat:
- Crow’s feet – lines radiating from the corners of your eyes
- Glabella – deep creases between your eyebrows
- Furrows – lines running across your forehead
- Marionette lines – vertical lines from the corners of your mouth down to your chin
Juvederm Voluma XC is the perfect solution for:
- Restoring volume to your cheeks
- Improving the contours of the middle of your face
Restylane is a superb option to restore lost volume, plumping up your skin and face. It’s recommended for:
- Minimizing the appearance of chin wrinkles
- Pre-jowl wrinkles and indentations
Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic acid)
The first—and original—injectable collagen stimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), Sculptra helps restore facial skin structure, which may provide long-lasting skin improvement. Sculptra helps restore your skin’s foundation by stimulating your natural collagen production to firm and smooth the entire cheek region and tighten the skin along the jawline.
Benefits of Fillers
In addition to the cosmetic benefits of minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, restoring lost facial volume, and smoothing and plumping your skin, consider that filler treatment is:
- Fast, with an average treatment time of about 15 minutes
- Long-term, with results that can last up to one year
- Convenient, with treatment requiring no downtime
You will also be able to enjoy excellent results almost immediately after treatment.
What To Expect During Filler Treatment
During filler treatment, your dermatologist will inject a small amount of filler material using a tiny needle. Injections are tolerated well by most people, and your doctor can use a numbing spray beforehand if you wish. The number of injections you need will vary depending on the area or areas being treated and your individual characteristics.
