Facial Fillers

One of the first signs of aging are lines and wrinkles on the face.

Although Botox and collagen have been the first line treatment for the past ten years new products are becoming available and approved by the FDA.

In March of 2003 a new form of collagen - CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast - gained approval by the FDA. These are made of collagen derived from human cells grown in a lab. They are better than Zyderm and Zyplast, which are bovine-derived collagen in a sense that there is virtually no chance of reaction and no need for skin testing a month prior to treatment.

The newer collagen seems to last as long as the old collagen approximately three months and it also is mixed with some local anesthetic which gives the patients some analgesia. More recently, Restylane was approved by the FDA as a dermal filler. Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid a substance naturally found in connective tissue. It is non animal based and therefore does not require testing. It is also longer lasting than the collagen fillers and lasts approximately six months.

Hylaform is another filler made of hyaluronic acid that has recently been approved by the FDA. Both Restylane and Hylaform can be used to fill depressions, lines, scars as well enhance the lips like collagen. In our center at the Inland Cosmetic surgery Medical Corporation the patients are encouraged to try temporary fillers in combination with Botox prior to using permanent fillers or surgical correction.

Our patients overall have been very satisfied with Botox, CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast and are thrilled with a new filler that lasts longer.
