Fillers

Fillers are a variety of substances that can be safely injected under your skin to fill defects, deep wrinkles and depressed scars, and to re-create facial contours lost with aging. By them-selves, or combined with other techniques such as Botox or laser treatments, fillers can be used to make you look years younger without the risks and discomforts of surgery.
Over time, as we age our appearance changes. You look older because your skin is less elastic. It gets thinner and the creases formed by making expressions deepen into wrinkles. Under the skin you lose volume. You look tired, saggy - in short - old.
You can refresh and improve your appearance without surgery. You can get what people are calling a mini facelift, in your lunch hour. How do you do that? With dermal fillers!
So what are dermal fillers? They are substances that can be safely injected into or under your skin in order to restore smooth texture and youthful shape and contours of your face, lips, hands, or another area of the body which appearance needs to be rejuvenated.
Examples of such dermal fillers are Radiesse, Teosyal, Evolence, and Restylane.
The filler plumps up the area where it is injected. Because the fillers we use are natural substances, your body gradually absorbs them. Thus, any treatment with the above fillers isn't permanent, but lasts 6 months to 2 years, depending on the filler and the treatment.
Dr. Pinkhasik uses a very fine needle to place a filler in the spots of your face where loss of volume has created depressions and make you look old.

• Lines between the side of your nose and the corner of your mouth
• Crowsfeet wrinkles
• Lines around your lips
• Scars

In addition, careful placement in certain parts of the face makes the skin lower down on the face lift up, and you look younger. We have seen amazing results in men and women with the placement of Radiesse or Teosyal along the cheekbones to lift and round out the cheeks, or to decrease the appearance of "bags" under the eyes. If your cheeks are hollowed out or sagging, or you have the appearance of "bags" under your eyes, this treatment will instantly take years off your face.
Fillers can be used to lift eyebrows and sagging cheeks, alter shape of the nose, reduce jowls, plump up thinned lips, and rejuvenate the appearance of your hands.
Because the landscape of your face is so small, your skin only needs to be lifted a very small distance to achieve really profound results. In skilled hands, it is a subtle but effective way to make you look younger and refreshed.
