Fillers

At ABOUT FACE Dr. Pickens uses cosmetic fillers to rejuvenate facial skin by smoothing out everything from small wrinkles caused by smiling, wrinkles between the eyebrows, as well as correcting deep furrows and sagging cheekbones. Fillers are also used to correct hollowness around the eyes, and add fullness to thin lips. If your face is disproportionate, that can be improved, too.

In addition, fillers can reduce scars from acne, chicken pox and other conditions, restore youthfulness to hands, contour the nose nonsurgically and improve sagging earlobes.

What do the Fillers Contain?

Dr. Pickens uses the fillers Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvéderm™, and Radiesse®. Restylane®, Perlane® and Juvéderm™ are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally creates volume when injected into the skin. Radiesse is made of calcium microspheres suspended in a water-based gel that actually stimulates collagen production.
