Dermal Fillers
As we age, facial wrinkles and creases begin to appear around the lips and skin as the underlying collagen and elastin fibers begin to break down and wear out. Dermal fillers are used to immediately restore youthfulness and volume to the face.
Dermal fillers treatments, such as Restylane offered in San Diego, can be used to plump thin lips, remove wrinkles, soften facial creases, re-volumize shallow contours and improve the appearance of recessed scars. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, we offer various dermal fillers, including:
- Juvéderm
- Voluma
- Vollure
- Volbella
- Restylane
- Restylane Contour
- Restylane Silk
- Restylane Kysse
- Restylane Refyne/Defyne
- Belotero
- Bellafill
- Redensity RHA Filler

Collagen Stimulators
Loss of collagen, the natural substance in our bodies that keeps our skin looking young and smooth, is a common problem that many people face with age. Collagen loss can lead to deep folds and wrinkles, as well as a hollow appearance in the temple and cheek area.
Thankfully, there are injectable treatments that are specifically designed to stimulate collagen growth in order to smooth wrinkles and restore lost volume. Because these collagen stimulators work with your body’s natural supply of collagen, the results are extremely natural and longer-lasting.
The only FDA approved biostimulants include:
Sculptra is a popular injectable treatment primarily used to restore volume and stimulate collagen production in the skin. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used in medical devices for many years. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra works gradually by encouraging the body to produce its own collagen, leading to natural-looking results over time.
Radiesse
Radiesse is a popular injectable dermal filler that provides both volume restoration and skin rejuvenation. Its active ingredient is calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which is a biocompatible substance that works in two main ways: by adding immediate volume and by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Here are the key benefits of Radiesse:
1. Immediate Volume Restoration
- Instant Results: Radiesse offers immediate volume restoration in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth). The gel fills in areas where volume has been lost due to aging, giving the face a more youthful appearance right away.
- Lift and Contour: Radiesse is particularly effective at lifting and contouring the face, especially in areas where sagging or loss of volume is noticeable, such as the lower face. It can help define the jawline or lift the cheeks for a more sculpted look.
2. Collagen Stimulation for Long-Term Improvement
- Stimulates Collagen Production: In addition to providing immediate volume, the calcium hydroxyapatite particles in Radiesse stimulate collagen production in the skin. Over time, this leads to a gradual improvement in skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, providing long-term rejuvenation.
- Long-Lasting Effects: While the immediate results are noticeable, the collagen-building effects of Radiesse continue for several months, contributing to long-lasting improvements in skin appearance. The benefits can last up to 12-18 months, depending on the individual and the treatment area.
3. Non-Surgical Treatment
- Minimally Invasive: Radiesse is a non-surgical treatment, meaning it requires no incisions or long recovery times. This makes it a great option for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation without the risks or downtime associated with surgery.
- Quick Procedure: The treatment is relatively quick, often taking only 15-30 minutes depending on the areas being treated, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
4. Versatility in Treatment Areas
- Effective for Multiple Areas: Radiesse can be used to treat a variety of facial areas, including:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines that run from the mouth downward)
- Cheeks and cheekbones (for volume restoration)
- Jawline (for contouring and lifting)
- Hands (to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles)
- It can also be used for subtle facial contouring and to fill in deep wrinkles and folds.
5. Long-Lasting Results
- Durability of Effects: Radiesse’s effects tend to last longer than some other dermal fillers. The collagen-stimulating properties mean that over time, your skin will look smoother and more youthful even after the filler has been naturally absorbed. Most patients see results that last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, making it a good option for those seeking longer-term improvement.
6. Safe and Well-Tolerated
- Biocompatible Material: The calcium hydroxylapatite in Radiesse is a naturally occurring substance in the body, so it is generally well-tolerated, with a low risk of allergic reactions. It is a safe, FDA-approved option for facial volume restoration and wrinkle treatment.
- Minimal Downtime: Most people experience only mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. This makes it a convenient option for people with busy schedules.
7. Natural-Looking Results
- Smooth, Natural Feel: Because Radiesse stimulates your own collagen production, the results can feel more natural than other fillers that rely solely on the injected substance. The gradual collagen buildup creates a more authentic, lasting lift and volumization effect.
8. Improves Skin Quality
- Better Skin Texture: In addition to filling lines and wrinkles, Radiesse helps improve the overall texture and elasticity of the skin in the treated area. As collagen is produced and skin quality improves, your skin will appear smoother and more youthful.
Summary:
Radiesse offers several advantages as a dermal filler, including immediate volume restoration, long-lasting effects, and the ability to stimulate natural collagen production. Whether you’re looking to address wrinkles, restore lost volume in your cheeks or jawline, or smooth out the skin on your hands, Radiesse provides versatile and natural-looking results. With minimal downtime and the ability to stimulate collagen for long-term skin rejuvenation, it’s a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical facial enhancement. Always consult with a licensed dermatologist or plastic surgeon to ensure Radiesse is the right choice for your specific needs and goals.
