Fillers

Fillers are substances that are injected into the skin to plump it, thereby decreasing the appearance of wrinkles.

There are different types of fillers made from different substances, such as those made from hyaluronic acid (restylane and juvederm) and those made from synthetically derived calcium hydroxlyapatite (radiesse). These 2 main types have different indications.

Kybella

Kybella is used to remove excess fat from under the chin that often is referenced to the double chin. The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

PRFM

PRFM Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) is derived from a small sample of blood at the patient point of care. Commonly known (platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is converted to PRFM through a controlled process, creating a scaffold that serves to protect and preserve platelets. Think of PRFM as the next generation PRP. PRFM is a treatment to stimulate collagen growth. This treatment consists of withdrawing a patient’s own blood, processing it so that only the enriched cells remain, and injecting it into the area that is being treated. PRFM helps with regeneration of new and healthy skin tissue for gradual, natural results. This can be used to improve healing, hair loss, or under eye rejuvenation.
