Dermal fillers are used to add fullness to thin lips, soften creases and wrinkles, add fullness to sunken cheeks, improve the appearance of scars and contour the chin or nose, to name a few.
Fillers are not permanent, they usually last between 6 and 18 months, how long they last depend on the type of filler selected and where it is placed.
Among the dermal fillers we find:
A. Hyaluronic Acid
By far the most popular biodegradable filler agent, the level derived from hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyluronic acid is safe and provides volume and support, giving a natural and youthful appearance.
The brands used in our office are Restylane® and Juvéderm®, both FDA-approved in the United States and with INVIMA Registration in Colombia, which provides confidence, security and ensures lasting results.
Dr. Adrián has extensive experience in this type of procedure, which was gained during his career when working on cruise ships around the world.

B. Calcium Hydroxyapatite
We refer specifically to Radiesse®, with INVIMA registration in Colombia and FDA approved in the United States. This is a compound of spherical particles, smooth, small, thin of CaHA that are identical in composition to bone material.
This product is used by Dr. Adrián to add volume to the tissues and stimulate the collagen production. Results last up to 18 months.
Areas that can be treated are: Nasolabial folds, nose, cheekbones and hands.
C. Poly – L – Lactic Acid
We refer specifically to SCULPTRA® Aesthetics. With age, your skin’s natural collagen production decreases and as a result you may start to notice wrinkles. Collagen is the most common protein within the body and is important to support cells and tissues.
Sculptra® Aesthetics over time helps to restore natural volume in the face by reactivating your skins natural collagen.
