Cosmetic Injectable Fillers
Background
Collagen has been the most common substance used for soft tissue augmentation. It was approved for this purpose in 1981 by the FDA and since then nearly 2 million patients have received collagen and injectable filler treatments. Collagen is actually part of the natural support structure of your skin. Wrinkles form when this natural collagen thins. This thinning is mostly a process of aging, however, other important factors include the amount of sun exposure received over a lifetime, smoking history, pollution, health and lifestyle. With decreased collagen support, wrinkles and lines start to form wherever the skin moves.

The filler is injected with a very fine needle into the skin of the wrinkles to be treated. The lines or wrinkles that can be effectively treated include the worry lines (Forehead lines), frown lines (Glabellar folds), crow’s feet (Periorbital lines), lip border (Vermillion border), smile lines (Nasolabial folds), vertical lip lines (Perioral lines), and marionette lines (Oral commissures). Fillers have an immediate effect on lines and wrinkles. Most patients are very pleased with the results of injectable fillers and experience no side effects.
Most commonly used injectable fillers include:
- Juvederm
- Artefill
- Sculptra
- Restylane

Dr. Parson and his staff will individually look at you and your unique situation and recommend the best filler to fit your needs.
