Injectable facial fillers make it possible for individuals struggling with visible signs of aging to achieve smooth, youthful appearing skin without the need for invasive plastic surgery. Cosmetic procedures using facial fillers add volume to the skin to sculpt or enhance facial features or eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging as well as boost the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin.¹

What Are Facial Fillers?

Today the majority of injectable fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, are hypoallergenic, and have a low risk of complications. They are also less painful to inject, far less costly, and last longer. Additionally, the facial fillers in use today have highly predictable results and feel and look completely natural. When dermal filler injections are performed by an experienced healthcare provider such as Dr. Tal Roudner, a youthful, smooth, natural skin appearance should be expected.

Benefits of Facial Fillers

Injectable treatments using dermal fillers have a range of benefits including:

• Achieve a more youthful appearance
• Reduce or eliminate the appearance of fine lines, lip lines, marionette lines, wrinkles, and facial creases such as smile lines and nasolabial folds
• Enhance thin lips, or poorly defined cheekbones, jawline, and chin
• Improve the appearance of acne scars
• Fill in temporal hollows and under eye hollows
• Minimally-invasive procedure
• Minimal discomfort
• Little to no downtime
• Results are long-lasting

Candidates For Facial Filler

Facial filler injections are a cosmetic treatment ideal for healthy patients seeking to address facial wrinkles, depressed scars, or volume augmentation. Patients that are taking medications such as blood thinners may be injected with caution due to an increased possibility of bruising or hematoma (localized collection of blood). Patients with a history of connective tissue disorders should consult with their rheumatologist prior to injections with dermal fillers. Patients with active infections, open wounds, or cancer in the area of proposed treatment are not candidates for facial injections at the time of active disease.

Your Dermal Filler Consultation

It’s important to choose wisely when you are selecting a doctor to perform your facial filler treatment. Dr. Roudner specializes in the use of facial fillers to treat facial wrinkles like crow’s feet, correct age-related volume loss, and enhance facial features such as the lips, cheekbones, jawline, and chin for patients in Miami and beyond.

Dr. Roudner uses various fillers to treat different regions of the face. Different facial fillers are used to treat different conditions. Your consultation at our Miami office will allow Dr. Roudner to get to know you and understand your concerns and goals. He will then evaluate your anatomical features closely and devise a treatment plan that will most effectively meet your goals. Dr. Roudner’s goal is to achieve a maximal, yet subtle correction that is natural in appearance.

Your Facial Filler Treatment

After preparing the skin at the areas to be injected with alcohol or any other antiseptic solution, the fillers mixed with an anesthetic solution are injected into the mid to deep dermis as well as sub-dermis (hyaluronic acid and calcium Hydroxylapatite) or sub-dermis (poly-L-lactic acid) using small gauge needle. The filler can be placed by serial threading, linear threading, depo placement, or cross-hatching. The area may be gently massaged by Dr. Roudner if needed to obtain smooth distribution.

Facial Filler Results

You can expect an immediate correction of facial wrinkles, depressed scars, or noticeable volume enhancement in the areas treated with hyaluronic acid fillers. Fillers gradually dissolve over a period of 4-24 months depending on the areas treated and the products used.

Patients that are treated with the fillers on a regular schedule will notice a more youthful, elastic, and “shiny” skin over time due to their own collagen production by fibroblasts (cells producing collagen) that are stimulated by the filler injected.
