Dermal fillers (Injectables) are natural or synthetic materials that are injected into the skin to create a firmer, more youthful appearance. As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen and fat, producing lines, wrinkles, and sagginess in the epidermis. Dermal fillers help plump the skin, making it look fuller and healthier.

Collagen and other fillers have been used for years in lip enhancement, lip augmentation, wrinkle correction, and other skin rejuvenation procedures, such as filling out:

 

Restylane is a crystal-clear, biodegradable NASHA (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) gel, which is injected into the dermis in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous, producing a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to the skin.

ArteFill ® - for the correction of facial wrinkles known as nasolabial folds, or smile lines. Unlike existing dermal fillers that are completely metabolized by the body, ArteFill represents the first product in a new category of non-resorbable dermal fillers providing a permanent support structure for enduring wrinkle correction.

Juvederm™ - The newest dermal filler. Dr. Perlman was selected to offer his patients the newest dermal filler, before it is available to the general medical community. This was based on his extensive experience in the use of a variety of dermal fillers and the satisfactory results he's obtained.

Juvederm is a hyaluronic based filler that is twice as concentrated as Restylane. It is easy to inject resulting in a smoother distribution and even skin surface. Results in its use in Europe have been very encouraging. This product will be available after November 1st, 2006.

CosmoPlast™ provides a treatment option for patients who have deep wrinkles between their brows or smile lines from their nose to their mouth. Severe acne scars can also be successfully treated with CosmoPlast™ human collagen injections. CosmoPlast™ works by filling in deep folds with collagen that acts just like the natural collagen that has been worn away with time.

Radiesse is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse an ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring.

Zyplast® collagen implants are natural substances derived from highly purified bovine (cow) collagen that are injected just beneath the skin's surface, where the body commonly accepts them as its own. Treatment with Zyplast® collagen implants produces an immediate visible difference in the appearance of your skin.
