Wrinkle Fillers

Estetica Institute of the Palm Beaches offers Wrinkle Fillers to patients in Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Tequesta and the surrounding areas.

What are Wrinkle Fillers?

Wrinkle fillers have become increasingly popular over the years to reduce wrinkles, enhance lips and restore volume in the face through small injections. Unlike the injectables, Botox and Dysport, which eliminate wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscle causing the contraction, dermal fillers “fill out” wrinkles and add volume to areas like the chin, cheek bones and lips. And with a variety of ingredients to choose from, including human-based collagen, bovine-based collagen and fat transfers, the options are endless.

If you're interested in any of the wrinkle fillers listed below, please contact Estetica Institute of the Palm Beaches for more information, or to schedule a consultation with one of our doctors.

• Restylane: If you're looking for something to smooth out wrinkles – particularly those around the mouth and nose – Restylane is growing in popularity. This FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid-based filler also offers long-lasting results, with treatments lasting up to six months or more. The most common side effects include headache, nausea, redness or pain at the injection site.
   
• Perlane: Also a hyaluronic acid-based filler, Perlane is another great option to treat nasolabial folds, frown lines, crow's feet and lips. Hyaluronic acid is a resilient chemical that easily molds to facial contours and offers longer-lasting results than the once-popular collagen injections. In fact, it can last up to six to eight months and is also beneficial in chin and lip augmentation, filling cheek depressions, softening acne scars and more.
   
• Juvederm: This FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid-based filler is perfect for plumping up lips, reshaping cheek contours and filling out deep wrinkles between your cheeks and nose, and between your nose and the outer corners of your mouth. Its pliant gel consistency provides a natural-looking appearance, and its effects can last anywhere from six to nine months. Side effects may include redness, tenderness or pain at the injection site.
   
• Radiesse: This calcium hydroxylapatite-based filler is biocompatible, non-toxic and non-allergenic. While it's not recommended around the lips due to its larger particle size, it can be very effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, skin folds around the mouth and nose, as well as certain scars. The injection is performed with local anesthesia, and provides up to 80 percent improvement immediately after treatment. Radiesse patients typically enjoy the benefits of this procedure for two years or more.
