There are two categories of aesthetic treatments used in plastic surgery and dermatology to address volume loss, wrinkles, and signs of aging.
While both types of treatments contribute to facial rejuvenation, they work through different mechanisms.
Injectable Fillers:
Injectable fillers are substances injected into the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. The most common types of fillers include:
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts and retains moisture. HA fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are used to add volume, soften wrinkles, and augment lips.
CaHA is a mineral-like compound found in bones. Fillers like Radiesse use CaHA to stimulate collagen production and provide a scaffold for the development of new tissue.
Sculptra is an example of a PLLA filler. It works by stimulating the production of collagen over time, resulting in a gradual and natural-looking improvement.
Biostimulators:
Biostimulators are substances that stimulate the body’s natural processes, particularly collagen production.
Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, biostimulators work gradually over time. Common biostimulators include:
While Sculptra is often categorized as both a filler and a biostimulator, its primary mechanism is the stimulation of collagen production. It is injected as a liquid but gradually works by encouraging the body to produce its own collagen.
Ellanse is an example of a dermal filler containing PCL. It provides immediate volume but also stimulates collagen formation, leading to prolonged results.
Both types of treatments can be used to address volume loss, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The choice between injectable fillers and biostimulators may depend on factors such as the patient’s aesthetic goals, the specific area being treated, and the desired anti-aging duration of results.

Areas to be treated are prepared so that infiltration of the filling is not painful.
Scientific studies confirm that the only facial fillings that can be used with absolute safety are biodegradable ones such as hyaluronic acid, which is a natural component of the extracellular matrix. This filling does not favor rejection reactions and allows its reuse safely without the skin deteriorating.
We strongly advise you to go with a certified plastic surgeon to avoid complications such as injury to blood vessels or other anatomical structures.
The application is simple and only takes minutes.
The results are immediate and there may be a slight inflammation lasting from 1 to 3 days. It is recommended not to take aspirin or anticoagulants 5 days before its application.
It is recommended in men and women after the age of 30.
In some cases, maximum aesthetic recovery can be achieved when combined with surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, rhytidectomy and brow lift.
The average duration is 1 to 2 years and later touch-ups can be made to maintain the result.
Permanent fillers are ALWAYS going to give undesirable effects sooner or later. Since they cause inflammatory-type reactions, they leave granulomas (small balls) that do not disappear and can leave permanent sequelae and facial deformities that are difficult to correct.
