Sometimes wrinkles or deeper skin lines require a substance to fill and replace lost tissue. Collagen is composed of a natural protein that is very similar to the collagen of your own skin. When injected, this collagen can minimize imperfections such as frown and smile lines, acne scars or post surgical scars. Other fillers employ hyaluronic acid which are also naturally found in our skin. Fillers composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres can be used to fill deeper defects and re-contour facial lines.
Our center is continually researching newer and better filler materials. These fillers will be added to our practice as they become FDA approved. A consultation with one of our board certified dermatologists will allow you to discuss your concerns and formulate a personalized program to fit your skin type and needs.
