Dermal Fillers

The effects of aging, sun exposure, facial muscle movements, smoking and gravity all contribute to an older facial appearance. Fine lines, wrinkles, crows’ feet and smile lines appear, leaving you looking older, tired, and less vital and attractive.

The aging process can’t be avoided, but the effects on your facial skin can be dramatically reduced with facial fillers from Dr. Parker. Soft-tissue fillers can fill in the lines and creases temporarily to restore a smoother, younger-looking facial appearance.

Benefits of dermal fillers:

• Non-surgical and non-invasive
• Little to no discomfort or downtime
• Can achieve results on par with surgical procedures
• Creates a younger facial look in just minutes
• Smooths lines and wrinkles
• Corrects lost facial volume
• Creates a more youthful aesthetic
• Can be combined for comprehensive results

Hyaluronic acid (HA) – HA is a compound found naturally in the human body that is responsible for the skin’s resilience, plumpness and hydration. It plays a critical role in healing the skin after injury. Unfortunately, as we age our supply of HA dwindles. Several dermal fillers, including Restylane and Juvéderm contain HA, and can help moisturize and soften facial wrinkles, fine lines, creases and folds.

Collagen – Collagen is a protein that affords the skin its youthful glow and healthy fullness. Like HA, our bodies lose collagen as they age, causing a hollowed, dull, tired look in the complexion. Collagen also acts as a scaffolding giving support to the skin’s structure. Poly-L-lactic acid, a key ingredient in some dermal fillers such as Sculptra, can help restore depleted collagen levels. Fillers containing hydroxylapatite (a naturally occurring mineral) are also effective in restoring natural collagen.
