FACIAL FILLERS
In Scottsdale, Arizona
Dermal Fillers In Scottsdale and Surrounding AZ cities
Skin imperfections like wrinkles, blemishes, and fine lines can be frustrating and can make aging more noticeable. Soft tissue fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm can effectively fill in lines and creases, providing a temporary youthful appearance. These fillers are injected beneath the skin to restore volume in sunken and wrinkled areas. Many patients also opt for fillers to enhance the fullness of their lips and cheeks.
Aging naturally affects our skin due to sun exposure, gravity, and repetitive facial movements like chewing, smiling, and squinting. The supportive skin tissues that keep us looking youthful and plump can break down, leading to smile lines, laugh lines, crow’s feet, and creases in areas with frequent muscle activity. Our plastic surgeon in Scottsdale uses fillers to address these imperfections and achieve a smooth, youthful facial appearance for our patients.
In Scottsdale, many patients opt for injectable facial fillers like Juvederm and Radiesse to meet their aesthetic objectives.
IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR DERMAL FILLERS
You could be an excellent candidate for facial rejuvenation with injectable fillers if you:
- Notice deepening lines or volume loss in your face.
- Aim to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging.
- Seek fuller lips or enhanced cheek volume.
Dr. LaBarbera will evaluate your specific areas of concern and recommend the most effective treatment to achieve your goals. Typically, cosmetic injectables or dermal fillers are not advised for those allergic to bovine products or lidocaine, pregnant women, and individuals with autoimmune conditions.
FACIAL FILLER OPTIONS
Surgeons can choose from a range of injectable fillers to meet different aesthetic needs. In your initial consultation, Dr. LaBarbera will assess your unique goals and recommend the most suitable filler to achieve your desired look.
RADIESSE/RADIANCE
Radiesse fillers provide a reliable, effective, and enduring solution for smoothing wrinkles and diminishing facial creases. This filler consists of calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. The body naturally absorbs Radiesse over time since it’s made from minerals similar to those in our bones. Dr. Jude LaBarbera is known for delivering exceptional Radiesse treatments in Phoenix and the surrounding areas of Arizona. Patients notice immediate improvement after treatment, with results that can last up to a year.
JUVEDERM
SCULPTRA
Sculptra Aesthetic is a relatively new injectable filler made from poly-L-lactic acid. This innovative substance aids in replenishing lost collagen, helping to restore facial volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds that develop with age. Sculptra offers a gradual and natural-looking enhancement, making it an excellent option for those seeking long-term facial rejuvenation.

What is a dermal filler?
Injectable fillers utilize different materials, such as animal collagen, human fat, and other substances found naturally in the body. They can be temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent, depending on how long they last. When these fillers are injected under the skin, they enhance volume and provide a refreshed, youthful look to the skin’s surface.

Injectable fillers offer a minimally invasive solution for improving facial appearance, best performed by a qualified professional in a clinical setting. Dr. Jude LaBarbera will assist in selecting the ideal dermal filler to address your specific skin concerns, ensuring excellent cosmetic results while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Can I self administer dermal fillers?
The growing trend of ‘BOTOX cocktail parties’ has raised concerns about safety and results. These social events might make the administration of BOTOX and fillers seem simple, but exceptional results demand expertise, experience, and artistic judgment. Improper application or incorrect quantities can result in undesirable outcomes. To achieve your cosmetic goals safely and effectively, it is essential to seek treatment from a skilled cosmetic surgeon.
How long is recovery?
Patients who receive facial injectable fillers can often resume their daily activities within a few hours of treatment.
