Facial Fillers
As the holy grail of lunch hour beautification, facial fillers are a fast, effective, pain-free way to restore volume and texture to your face. Their purpose is to replenish the layer of collagen under the skin, filling in wrinkles and eliminating hollows in the cheek. There are different kinds of facial fillers, each one serving a different section of the face. At the office of Dr. Esmailian, we provide our patients with the following fillers to help them look as young as they feel:
Juvederm
As a premier soft tissue filler, Juvederm can be used in almost any area on the face. It effectively softens folds and wrinkles to restore your naturally youthful appearance. Juvederm is extremely safe and produces a soft, natural result.
Restylane
Made from a complex sugar molecule that naturally occurs in the skin, Restylane is a perfect substitute for lost collagen in the face. It can be used to plump up the lips and treat folds and wrinkles throughout the face.
Perlane
Perlane is in the Restylane family of injections. Just like Restylane, it is made from a naturally occurring substance within the body for a safe, biocompatible injection. Perlane is made from larger particles and injected deeper into the skin than Restylane, allowing it to handle deeper folds and wrinkles.
Radiesse
Radiesse is known as a biostimulatory cosmetic filler. This means that in addition to filling pockets where collagen has been lost, it also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. It is used primarily around the mouth to treat the nasolabial folds and so-called “smoker’s lines” above the upper lip.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a substance that is made from lactic acid, which is naturally present in the body; therefore, allergy testing prior to treatment is not necessary. Dr. Esmailian performs this nonsurgical procedure at his office in Orange County.
