What Can Facial Fillers Do for You?4 min read

There are several different types of dermal fillers currently on the market. Here as Aesthetica, we use:

• Belotero – A hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler with immediate effects lasting anywhere from 6-18 months depending on the specific type of filler and location on the face. Belotero is used to:
  • • Plump lips
    • Treat acne scarring
    • Fill in wrinkles and lines around your forehead, eyes, nose, and mouth
    • Diminish bags under the eyes
  • Contour cheeks, jawline, and nose bumps
• Juvederm – This is another hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. Like Boletero, Juvederm also provides immediate effects but tends to last a bit longer, anywhere from 1-2 years. Juvederm is usually used specifically to plump and fill lines in your cheeks, lips, and around the mouth. It is generally injected deeper than Belotero and has better results for more profound and severe lines and wrinkles. 
• Sculptra – Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based dermal filler. It differs from Juvederm and Boletero because Sculptra’s active ingredient stimulates the production of your body’s own collagen. These types of fillers are often called stimulators. After a Sculptra injection, you will gradually see results over a few months as your body produces more and more collagen. This type of dermal filler is considered semi-permanent and can last several years, though you may need touch-ups along the way. Sculptra is best used for:
  • Filling in laugh lines
  • Plumping lips
  • Diminishing deep nasolabial folds
