Dermal Fillers

Naples, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, & Estero, Florida

Dermal fillers and injectables can provide you with a minimally invasive, low risk way to improve aged and worn facial skin in order to recapture your youthful vitality. Fillers are applied to regions of your face that have lost volume due to aging. They are an excellent option to repair wrinkles, lines, and scars.

 

Fillers can also be used to augment your facial features. Many patients seeking fuller lips, cheeks, and chins turn to fillers to accomplish their cosmetic goals. When using fillers for facial enhancement, it is important to work with a cosmetic surgeon with a tasteful eye for aesthetics. Dr. Peña always strives to achieve a natural-looking result so that you will not appear “over injected.”

 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several filler products to be used for facial enhancement purposes. Each product is slightly different and will yield unique results. Dr. Peña can discuss the differences in the various fillers with you so that you choose the appropriate one to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. In certain situations, Dr. Peña may choose to combine several fillers for maximum effectiveness.

 

Evolence

 

Evolence is made out of a collagen-based material and serves to replace the natural collagen lost by your skin due to aging. Collagen is a protein found in your skin. Over time, the collagen in your skin deteriorates, causing wrinkles and lines. By replacing old and worn collagen, Evolence is able to repair damage caused by wrinkles, providing you with a much more youthful appearance.

 

Evolence is created from a specially engineered porcine collagen. It offers several advantages over non-collagen-based fillers:

• It is not hydrophilic (water attracting), therefore it does not cause swelling
• Bruising is minimized since collagen is a natural coagulant of blood
• No skin testing is necessary prior to injection due to Evolence’s close resemblance to natural human collagen

 

Radiesse

 

Radiesse provides you with an excellent option for filling in lines and wrinkles around your:

• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Cheeks
• Chin
• Jawline

 

Radiesse is a calcium hydroxyapatite-based substance. It is a synthetic filler and therefore reduces your risk of infection. Radiesse can also stimulate natural collagen growth, providing you with even better results.

 

Restylane and Perlane

 

Restylane and Perlane are natural fillers made out of non-animal based hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule present in your skin. These fillers are ideal for restoring skin volume to wrinkled areas, reshaping facial contours, and enhancing your lips. Restylane and Perlane are frequently used to treat wrinkles and enhance regions around your:

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines
• Eyes
• Lips
• Cheeks
• Chin
• Jaw line

 

Restylane and Perlane provide patients with very natural looking results. Since these fillers are not made from animal products, there is very little risk of infection or allergic reaction to your treatment.

 

Juvederm

 

Juvederm is an ideal option to repair damage caused by:

• Deep facial wrinkles
• Folds
• Lines
• Acne scars

 

Juvederm is also an effective treatment for enhancing your lips. Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid. Over time, your skin produces less hyaluronic acid, resulting in dry, wrinkled skin. Juvederm helps replace some of the hyaluronic acid that your skin is no longer naturally producing.

 

Sculptra

 

Sculptra is used to repair regions where fat loss underneath the skin is experienced. The primary material in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid. It thickens your skin in order to provide you with a more youthful, supple face. You may require several treatments before you achieve maximum results.
