Fillers/injectables are a safe, effective and non-surgical way to create fuller lips, smooth out facial wrinkles and scars, and improve the appearance of deep frown lines or furrowed brows.

PAMF offers the following fillers/injectables to patients:

  • Sculptra®
  • Radiesse™
  • Restylane™
  • Hylaform®
  • Collagen
Procedure:
During treatment, a very fine needle is used to inject the filler beneath the skin's surface to plump or fill the depressed areas. The effects of the fillers can be seen immediately, with little redness or swelling.

Anesthesia:
A topical anesthesia is optional.

Treatment Duration:
Treatments generally take about 30 minutes per session. All fillers are temporary. To achieve and maintain optimal results, the treatment needs to be repeated every five months to two years (depending on the filler).

After Care:
Slight swelling and redness may be evident after treatment, but may only last one to three days. Minor bruising may also occur for a few days. Normal activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure.

To find out if you are a candidate for fillers/injections, call our patient services representative at 650-330-5921 to schedule a consultation.
