Soft tissue fillers are for wrinkles at rest, which can occur on the forehead, around the eyes, and/or the mouth. These fillers are all hyaluronic acid-based and are made from substances found naturally in the body (i.e joint space). These fillers are injected directly into the skin at various depths keeping in mind the complex and unique facial vascular patterns to restore volume and reduce the appearance of fine and deep lines. They can be used around the eyes to improve hollowness and reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Fillers are often combined with neuromodulators such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeaveau® to work synergistically in facial rejuvenation. There is a risk of adverse complications that can occur with filler placement, which is why qualified experts should be performing these procedures.
Sculptra is a collagen stimulant that can be used to restore facial volume. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production to improve the appearance of deep lines, creases, and folds to give a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Rosh offers patients several different soft tissue filler options in order to provide the best possible results for individual needs, including:
The fillers in Dr. Rosh’s practice are hyaluronic acid-based and are dissolvable. Mild discomfort and bruising may occur during the injection, but you can return to work and resume your normal daily activities that same day.
Side effects are rare and are usually mild and temporary. The most common side effects are temporary redness, and/or bruising of the skin at the site of injection. There is a small risk of adverse complications that can occur with filler placement, such as skin mottling and vascular complications, which is why qualified experts should be performing these procedures. Choosing a qualified and experienced physician can reduce any risk of complication.
Sculptra is an FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, it gradually restores volume over time for a more youthful, natural look.
