Wrinkle Fillers

While collagen may be the name most people are familiar with, there are other injectable wrinkle fillers available that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. If you're concerned about your skin showing age, ask Dr. Aguila about your options, including:

Calcium hydroxyappetite (Radiesse): This wrinkle filler is most commonly used for soft tissue augmentation. In other words, it helps create a more plump appearance. This is a semi-permanent solution that naturally dissolves in the body over time.
Fascia: This is a type of connective tissue that can come from your own body or a deceased human donor. It can be injected or implanted surgically, but it will be reabsorbed by the body within a year.
Fat: A physician can take fat from other areas of your body, such as thighs or abdomen, and inject it into your wrinkles to plump the skin. The benefits of fat injections include reduced risk of allergic reaction and increased possibility of permanent results.
Hyaluronic acid: Like collagen, this substance is naturally occurring in your skin. These injections improve the appearance of skin by providing volume between the collagen and elastic fibers in your skin, as well as attracting and binding moisture.

Wrinkle filler injections should only be administered by a health care professional. You may also have a local anesthetic administered at the injection site before your cosmetic procedure. Ask your doctor about which wrinkle filler will provide you with the best results.
